Flood alerts: Ohio River crests simply above 60 toes Monday
ENGINE AND THEN DRIVE THERE ANYWAY. JUST PROBABLY THERE’S A LOT OF THAT THAT WE’RE SEEING A LOT OF THE HIGH WATER, A LOT OF THE ROAD CLOSURES. ARE WE GOING TO GET A BREAK ANYTIME SOON? IT’S A GORGEOUS DAY TODAY OBVIOUSLY. YEAH, I MEAN MOST OF THE WEEK IS GOING TO BE DRY AROUND HERE. WE DO HAVE A MINOR SHOWER CHANCE LATER, BUT NOTHING THAT’S GOING TO IMPACT THE FLOODING WE’RE ALREADY EXPERIENCING AROUND THE AREA. SO HERE WE ARE TONIGHT LOOKING AT THE OHIO RIVER COMING DOWN JUST A TAD HERE. SO IT’S QUITE POSSIBLE THE RIVER MAY HAVE CRESTED RIGHT ABOUT 60.8FT, BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN A SLOW FALL SINCE THE LAST OFFICIAL READING, OR SHOULD I SAY, SINCE THE EARLY EVENING READING RIGHT AROUND 7:00. SO WE’LL SEE IF THIS HOLDS. MAYBE THE RIVER IS NOW SLOWLY BEGINNING TO INCH ITS WAY DOWN ACROSS THE AREA. IT’S GOING TO BE A SLOW FALL. IT’S GOING TO TAKE IT ALL WEEK, IN FACT, BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO TAKE IT UNTIL FRIDAY BEFORE IT GETS BACK INTO FLOOD STAGE OR WITHIN ITS BANKS. OFFICIALLY RIGHT NOW, TEMPERATURES ARE ALL ON THE CHILLY SIDE. MOST OF US ARE SEEING OUR NUMBERS TUMBLE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE 40S AS WE MAKE OUR WAY INTO THE 30S, AND EVENTUALLY LOWS. TONIGHT WE’LL GET DOWN INTO THE MID TO UPPER 20S BY MORNING. SO IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY COLD START FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING. NOT FEELING AT ALL MUCH LIKE APRIL FOR US. SO AS WE LOOK AHEAD, WE’RE TRACKING SLOWLY FALLING RIVERS, CHILLY WEATHER FOR APRIL AND A MAINLY DRY FORECAST IS WHAT WE NEED. YOU’RE ALREADY INTO THE 30S AND SOUTHEAST INDIANA SKIES ARE STARTING TO CLEAR UP NOW, AND AS THAT HAPPENS, THOSE TEMPERATURES WILL FALL EVEN FASTER THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT FOR US. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE LICKING RIVER. IT TO CRESTED ON SUNDAY AND CONTINUES TO SLOWLY FALL HERE. SAME STORY AT THE KENTUCKY RIVER AT LOCKPORT. STILL WAITING FOR IT TO OFFICIALLY CREST THERE AT ABOUT 54FT. CURRENTLY IN MAJOR FLOOD, FUTURECAST KEEPS THINGS PRETTY QUIET AROUND HERE THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AS YOU’LL SEE, SUNSHINE RETURNS TOMORROW. THAT WILL BE NICE GOING INTO WEDNESDAY. PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES, THERE WILL BE A SYSTEM THAT PASSES BY TO OUR NORTH ON WEDNESDAY. COULD SKIRT THROUGH WITH A FEW SHOWERS VERY LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. AGAIN, NOTHING THAT’S GOING TO IMPACT THE ONGOING FLOODING. AND THEN IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE BACK INTO SOME SUNSHINE IN HERE FOR THURSDAY. SO ALL IN ALL, THIS SHOULD BE A FAIRLY QUIET WEEK OF WEATHER FOR US. WE’RE AT 43, BUT THERE’S THAT NORTHWEST WIND AT 20 CERTAINLY MAKING IT FEEL COLD OUTSIDE. AND WE’LL KEEP DROPPING THE REST OF THE NIGHT, EVENTUALLY GETTING DOWN, AS I MENTIONED, INTO THE MID AND UPPER 20S TO START WITH A FREEZE WARNING. IN EFFECT, IT WILL FEEL LIKE IT’S SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO ABOUT 20 TOMORROW. BREEZY WITH COOL SUNSHINE. ONLY 48 FOR YOUR AFTERNOON HIGH. COLD START IN THE MORNING, CLIMBING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 40S BY AFTERNOON. HERE’S YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. AND MIKE, YOU’LL SEE HERE ON THE SEVEN DAY THERE’S YOUR MINOR SHOWER CHANCES THERE. BUT TEMPERATURES ALL IN ALL FOR THIS TIM
