Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to continue across the Ohio Valley through Tuesday, with most areas receiving less than a quarter-inch of rain. While brief downpours are possible, overall precipitation will be light and spread out over time, according to the National Weather Service’s Ohio River Forecast Center.
River levels are currently within normal ranges, and no significant flooding is anticipated. The highest chances for rain will occur during the afternoon and evening, although periods of dry weather will dominate much of the region.
Cities along the Ohio River, including Louisville, Huntington, Cincinnati, and Wheeling, can expect occasional wet roads and reduced visibility during showers. Travel delays should remain minimal, but drivers are advised to exercise caution during heavier bursts of rain.
Rural and agricultural areas are likely to benefit from the light moisture without the risk of washouts or field flooding. The rain pattern is also expected to help maintain water supplies without overloading local drainage systems.
By midweek, rain chances will diminish, and drier, warmer weather is expected to return.
