Weekend Rain Could Bring Flooding Along Rivers

Licking, Ohio Rivers Already At Higher-Than-Usual Stage

CINCINNATI -- A rainy weekend might cause more problems than ruining weekend outdoor plans.
News 5 Chief meteorologist Derek Beasley said a frontal system will begin crossing the Ohio Valley on Thursday evening and Friday morning, bringing rain to the region.
Beasley said the problems will start when the system stalls over the area. He said that waves of rain will pass over the Tri-State all the way through Sunday, bringing 1 to 3 inches of rain.

Beasley said some areas could see up to five inches of rain.
Beasley said much of the rain will run off, rather than soak into the already-saturated ground, and end up in rivers already at higher-than-normal stages due to previous rain.
Beasley said it's possible that rivers will reach flood levels next week, depending on how much rain falls. He said flash flooding is less likely because the rain will be spread out over several days rather than falling in a short period of time.
Beasley said the Ohio and Licking rivers will have to be watched closely in the early days of next week.


Have to look and see what the other forecasts say, but thangs could git real messy down by the crick.

Heard that the Ohio will be last to potentially flood, but that many of the tributaries are nearing flood stage.
