Ohio River Basin Hydrometeorological Discussion

1255 PM EDT Monday, June 17, 2013

...HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL DISCUSSION...
The Ohio Valley remains under a warm, moist airmass today, so showers and
storms could be scattered across anywhere, though they are less likely in the
north. Meanwhile, along the southern edge of the basin, storms will continue
to be more numerous today. Tonight into Tuesday a disturbance will move along
the southern Ohio Valley, enhancing storm activity across the south. On
Tuesday night and into Monday a cold front will push south through the basin,
bringing somewhat drier air to the region. The high pressure behind the front
will suppress rain activity, resulting in drier conditions for the end of the
week and into the weekend.

...FLOOD POTENTIAL DISCUSSION...
Minor flooding continues along portions of the Tippecanoe and Wabash Rivers
in western Indiana.  The potential for any new flooding remains low.

...24-HR OBSERVED PRECIPITATION USED IN TODAY`S RIVER FORECASTS...
Rain was scattered across most of the Ohio Valley. With only a couple of local
exceptions, rains north of the Ohio River were light. Some scattered areas
across Kentucky and Tennessee saw basin averages as high as 1.00 to 1.75
inches.

...48-HR FORECAST PRECIPITATION USED IN TODAY`S RIVER FORECASTS...
Day 1 (8am EDT Monday - 8am EDT Tuesday):

Wabash and Maumee Watersheds. Basin averages will increase to the southwest
with amounts up to 0.50 inch in middle Tennessee.

Day 2 (8am EDT Tuesday - 8am EDT Wednesday):
Similar to day 1, all but the far northwest Ohio Valley will see some rainfall.
