Wet February/Winter

River Flooding

Dry conditions will be present tonight with temperatures dipping into the 20s to around 30 degrees.

Flood safety.

Not surprising, both February and the winter season (Dec-Feb) already rank in the Top 10 wettest on record in Paducah, KY. With more heavy rain on the way, we will climb higher in the rankings over the final 10 days of February/Winter.

Moderate flooding continues along the Ohio River. Additional rainfall this week will lead to river levels continuing to slowly rise at some locations. The current forecast crests are about 1 to 3 feet lower than the crest in early March of 2018. Stay tuned to updates over the coming days as these forecasts may fluctuate based on the amount of rain our area receives.
