Winter/Spring Flood Potential Outlook

National Weather Service Wilmington OH

1250 PM EST Thu Feb 29 2024



...NORMAL FLOOD RISK FOR THE REGION THROUGH MARCH 14...

 

Normal flood potential means at least some flooding is possible. 

Above normal flood potential means more widespread flooding is 

possible with some points possibly reaching moderate or major flood 

levels.

        

This is a biweekly flood outlook issued by local NWS offices in 

winter and early spring to summarize basin conditions and to assess 

the potential for flooding. The outlooks are based on current and 

forecast hydrometeorological conditions.

        

The factors considered when determining flood potential include 

current streamflow and reservoir levels compared to normal for the 

period, water equivalent in any snow pack, soil moisture and 

expected precipitation.

        

...SNOW COVER AND SNOW WATER EQUIVALENT...

No snowpack currently exists across the region. 



...STREAMFLOW...

Streamflow conditions are near normal across most of Ohio and 

northern Kentucky. They are below normal across southern Indiana.



...ICE...

There is no ice observed on area rivers. 



...SOIL MOISTURE...

Soil moisture conditions are generally in the 20th-30th percentile, 

which is below normal.



...RESERVOIR CAPACITY...

Flood control products are near optimum levels of storage capacity. 



...WEATHER TRENDS AND PRECIPITATION...

Above normal temperature and precipitation values expected through 

the middle of March. However, our local forecast does not have any 

significant systems that would warrant flood concerns through the 

first week of March.
