Ohio Valley – Minor flooding is still a concern for the northern and western Ohio Valley as scattered showers and storms bring some additional rainfall today. The National Weather Service reports that while the rainfall will not likely exacerbate existing flooding, areas affected by earlier heavy rains continue to experience high river levels.
According to the National Weather Service’s Ohio River Forecast Center, the southern Ohio Valley is expected to see some storms, but these are not expected to cause further flooding. By Friday, dry weather will return, helping to ease conditions. While minor flooding persists in the northern and western regions, the forecasted rainfall through Thursday is unlikely to worsen the situation.
Residents in Ohio, especially those near the Ohio River and other affected waterways, are urged to stay alert as water levels remain elevated. Roads in flood-prone areas could be hazardous, especially during periods of heavy rain. Local authorities are monitoring river stages and advising the public to avoid flooded areas.
With more showers expected to taper off by Friday, the floodwaters should gradually recede, but updates on conditions remain important. The National Weather Service continues to track river levels, with further advisories or alerts possible as conditions change.
