Ohio River Basin Hydrometeorological Discussion
Ohio River Forecast Center, Wilmington, Ohio
1112 AM EDT Saturday, May 17, 2008 

...HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL DISCUSSION...
Weak front is currently heading into the basin from the northwest with some
light precipitation associated with it.  These showers will become more 
abundant over the northern half of the basin as the front passes through today.
Another piece of energy will dive down into the basin from the northwest 
overnight, giving more locations a better chance of precipitation across the 
basin. 

The upcoming work week will have a few of these lighter precipitation events
about every other day or so.  

...FLOOD POTENTIAL DISCUSSION...
Minor flooding is observed in southern Indiana and will continue through the
weekend and into this week.  Chances for any flooding due to new, additional
precipitation is low since the next few precipitation events look to be on the
light side.

...24-HR OBSERVED PRECIPITATION USED FOR TODAY'S RIVER FORECASTS...
Light precipitation fell across the eastern basin over the past 24 hours. 
Amounts were generally from only a few hundredths to a couple of tenths.

...24-HR FORECAST PRECIPITATION USED FOR TODAY'S RIVER FORECASTS...
Heaviest amounts are int he eastern basin, where a quarter to an inch to a half
of an inch are forecast over the next 24 hours.  All, but the far southern 
basin is forecast to receive some precipitation.  This precipitation will be 
spotty across these areas and light, numbering only a few hundredths to a 
tenth or two.
