ALERT: FLOOD WATCH ON AGAIN FOR REGION - Saturated Ground Raises Risk

(02/28/2011)
A Flood Watch remains in effect from late Sunday night through Monday evening for Calhoun and several regional counties.

A low pressure system will likely bring 1 to 2 inches of total rainfall through Monday evening. With the ground already saturated in many counties from previous rains, flooding is possible.

The main hazard will be flooding along small streams and creeks. However, this may lead into larger stream and river flooding. Any river flooding could extend into Tuesday, well after the heavier rain has exited. Even the Ohio River will see a strong rise and will need to be monitored into mid week.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts.
