PROJECT ALERT NOTICE (OH) Minor flooding in Ohio

Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 12:42:03 EDT

Summary: Minor flooding is occurring in Ohio.

Up to two and a half inches of rain fell over central Ohio last night as a complex of thunderstorms fueled by cold air undercutting very warm air hit the area last night. The result of this is that minor flooding is occurring in central Ohio.

One river gage, the outflow from Dillon Dam went down last night, however this was not due to damage done by floods. One crew is there right now to fix the gage.

USGS response is four additional crews are in the Scioto and Licking River basins in central Ohio, mainly to fill rating gaps.

Cooperators have been notified of our actions and all measurements are being post on Slack, the National Weather Service tool for posting important information.
