The updated Ohio River forecast would take the river to near 60 feet next week in Cincinnati. This is nearly 8 feet above flood stage and would have major impacts to the metro area. More heavy rains are forecast and a higher crest cannot be ruled out.
Additional rainfall over the Ohio River watershed will be 2-6 inches over the next 7 days.
