The following is a daily text product issued by the OHRFC: ZCZC CRWHMDTIR CESTTAA00 KTIR DDHHMM Ohio River Basin Hydrometeorological Discussion Ohio River Forecast Center, Wilmington, Ohio 1013 AM EDT Wednesday, August 27, 2008 ...HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL DISCUSSION... The low pressure system that was Fay had lifted into eastern Tennessee by early Wednesday morning. Much of the rain had already moved into southeast Ohio and West Virginia. This system will only slowly lift northeastward as it is pushing into an area of high pressure over New England. By Friday morning most of this moisture associated with Fay will have moved east of the basin. On Friday a cold front will begin to push into the basin from the northwest. It is forecast to push south of the Ohio Valley by Saturday morning leaving conditions slightly cooler than normal and dry for the Labor Day weekend. ...FLOOD POTENTIAL DISCUSSION... Despite the persistent rains from Fay, the flood potential will remain low. Dry soils and low initial flows would require more rainfall than is forecast before flooding would become any threat. ...24-HR OBSERVED PRECIPITATION USED FOR TODAY'S RIVER FORECASTS... Rain fell across most of Kentucky, middle Tennessee, southern Ohio, West Virginia and far western Virginia. Heaviest basin average rains fell in the upper New River Basin south of West Virginia with totals ranging to over 3.25 inches. Basin averages also ranged from 1.25 to 2.00 in portions of middle Tennessee, eastern Kentucky and far southern Ohio. ...24-HR FORECAST PRECIPITATION USED FOR TODAY'S RIVER FORECASTS... Rain is expected east of a line from Cleveland to Cincinnati to Somerset, Kentucky. Highest basin average amounts will range from 1.00 to 1.60 inch amounts in east central Ohio, northern West Virginia and southwest Pennsylvania. Basin average amounts greater than 0.50 inch are also expected in west central Pennsylvania, southeast Ohio and most of West Virginia. ...RIVER BASINS IN FLOOD... None.
