River Flooding and Rainfall Check-In [March 4, 2026]
Over the past couple days we've received a decent amount of rain & were expected to receive upto another 2 inches by Friday. We also have an slight risk of excessive rainfall issued for today (obviously posting a little late on that). There is some rumbles of thunder out there but I don't see us any risk of any severe weather tonight, just some rain-heavy rain moving through the area. Will post and update if something changes.
As of now the south end of the Scioto is most at risk for flooding. The monitors in Circleville and Piketon are expected to breach normal flood stage levels by tomorrow but then crest before they become too severe. Still worth monitoring since we are getting a fair amount of rain in a short period.
Franklinton's problem with flooding is partly due to the Scioto so we'll definitely want to watch that. Or rather, when the Scioto floods, is a strong indicator that Fraknlinton will flood.
