Cincinnati, OH – Multiple rounds of light precipitation are expected to move through the Ohio Valley over the next week, increasing the risk of renewed river rises, especially in western parts of the region.
According to the National Weather Service Ohio River Forecast Center, rivers in Indiana, Illinois, and western Kentucky are still receding after last week’s heavy rainfall. However, the incoming rain could slow this process and potentially lead to further flooding concerns.
Forecast models indicate that moderate to minor flooding could occur in certain areas as rivers respond to additional precipitation. Residents in flood-prone zones are advised to monitor weather updates and be prepared for possible rising water levels.
With rainfall expected throughout the week, officials urge caution for those traveling near rivers and low-lying areas. Emergency management teams recommend having a flood preparedness plan and staying informed through local alerts.
