Flooding is already widespread in the Ohio valley and soils are saturated. In the coming days, tremendous rainfall amounts are likely on top of already saturated soils. Considerably more flooding is likely and some areas, especially southwest of Cincinnati, could see historic flooding. Over 4 inches of rain is projected in Cincinnati over the next 5 days.
Additionally, Tuesday was exceptionally warm in the Ohio valley, threatening to send plants surging into spring mode much too early. The temperature at Cincinnati reached 79 degrees F. That breaks the all time record high temperature for the entire month of February of 78 degrees set just last year in 2017.
