Winter/Spring Flood Potential Outlook
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
1052 AM EDT Thu Mar 14 2024

...NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL FLOOD RISK FOR THE REGION THROUGH
MARCH 28...

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...
There is no snowpack across the region.

...STREAMFLOW...
Streamflow is near normal across the region.

...ICE...
There is no ice on area rivers.

...SOIL MOISTURE...
Soil moisture is below normal across the region.

...RESERVOIR CAPACITY...
Reservoirs are at optimal winter storage capacity.

...WEATHER TRENDS AND PRECIPITATION...
Showers and thunderstorms will occur into Friday which may produce
locally heavy rainfall. Beyond that, little rainfall is expected
during the first week of the outlook period. For week 2,
precipitation is forecast to be above normal.
