LEADING THE WAY. IT IS ANOTHER WEATHER IMPACT DAY AS RISING RIVER LEVELS NOW HAVE SOME NEIGHBORHOODS FLOODED THIS MORNING. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT 6:00. I’M TIFFANY WILSON. WE ARE BRINGING YOU LIVE TEAM COVERAGE WITH OUR RICHARD CHILES MONITORING HOW THE SWELLING OHIO RIVER IS IMPACTING THE AURORA COMMUNITY. AND REPORTER NICOLE APONTE IS IN MIAMITOWN, WHERE THE GREAT MIAMI RIVER CRESTED LAST NIGHT. BUT FIRST WE WANT TO GET TO METEOROLOGIST KATIE DONOVAN WITH A FIRST CHECK OF YOUR MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. GOOD MORNING KATIE. GOOD MORNING TIFFANY. SO THANKFULLY THE WORST OF THE RAIN BEHIND US. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SOME SHOWERS TODAY, BUT THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BE NEARLY AS SIGNIFICANT AS WHAT WE SAW IN PREVIOUS DAYS. RIGHT NOW OUR RADAR SHOWING SOME LIGHT SHOWERS MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA. YOU CAN SEE PLACES OUT EAST OF 275. FINDING A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAINFALL HERE FROM LEBANON. AND TOMORROW BUTLERVILLE WILMINGTON, MARTINSVILLE AND THEN NORTHERN CLERMONT AND NORTHERN BROWN COUNTY, AND THEN PLACES FURTHER SOUTH OF THAT HERE THROUGH CLERMONT COUNTY INTO THE OHIO RIVER. FINDING SOME LIGHT RAINFALL THIS MORNING THAT WILL CONTINUE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER EAST. AND WE ALSO HAVE SOME BANDS OF SHOWERS SETTING UP BACK TO THE WEST ACROSS SOUTHEAST INDIANA. SO WE DO HAVE FLOOD ALERTS OUT. WE’VE GOT FLOOD WATCHES FOR THE REGION, FLOOD WARNINGS AND THE TIMING OF THAT IS GOING TO BE THROUGH TODAY AND INTO MUCH OF EARLY NEXT WEEK. SO THE RIVERS ARE RUNNING HIGH AGAIN, REALLY NOT GOING TO PICK UP A LOT MORE RAIN ACCUMULATION TODAY. MAYBE SOME MINOR AMOUNTS, BUT WHAT YOU KNOW HAS ALREADY FALLEN IS REALLY GOING TO BE WHAT CAUSES THE ISSUES FOR US ON THE RIVERS AS WE GO THROUGH THE LAST PART OF THE WEEKEND AND THROUGH NEXT WEEK. SO LOOK FOR THOSE FLOODED RIVERS, THOSE ROADWAYS. YOU’LL EVEN CONTINUE. HAVE TO WATCH SOME BASEMENT FLOODING IF YOU LIVE NEAR A RIVER AND ANY OF THOSE FLOOD PRONE AREAS. THIS WEEKEND. SO THE OHIO RIVER AT CINCINNATI AGAIN, HIGHEST CREST SINCE 2018. SO THAT WILL BE HAPPENING TOMORROW ONCE IT REACHES 60FT. WE’RE LOOKING AT MODERATE FLOOD STAGE RIGHT NOW WITH JUST OVER 56FT FOR THAT CURRENT STAGE. YOUR GREAT MIAMI RIVER AT MIAMI TOWN IS ACTUALLY ON THE RECEDING SIDE NOW. CRESTED LAST NIGHT AT 1015. SO THAT WAS MINOR FLOOD STAGE. OFFICIAL CREST WAS 23.26FT. CURRENT IMPACTS. WHERE THE RIVER IS SITTING RIGHT NOW BE BUSINESSES EAST OF THE RIVER NEAR TAYLOR CREEK. AND THEN YOU HAVE STRETCHES OF EAST MIAMI RIVER ROAD THAT ARE UNDERWATER THIS MORNING, LITTLE MIAMI RIVER WILL STAY IN ACTION STAGE. THAT’S GOING TO BE YOUR NEWEST PROJECTION FOR THAT RIVER AT MILFORD. WE’RE LOOKING AT THE CREST AT 16.1FT. THAT’S GOING TO BE 8:00 IN THE MORNING. TODAY MAY ACTUALLY COME UP SHY OF THAT. IT LOOK LIKE WE MIGHT MISS THAT JUST SLIGHTLY HERE, JUST BASED ON HOW THAT RIVER WAS RISING, WHERE THOSE CURRENT LEVELS WERE. SO AGAIN, I THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING FLOODING OR AT LEAST HIGH WATER AROUND THE AREA OF KARL BROWN WAY NEAR THE LOVELAND AREA FOR THAT CURRENT GAUGE. AND THEN WE HAVE SOME SERIOUS FLOODING ONGOING FOR THE KENTUCKY RIVER AT LOCKPORT. NEW PROJECTIONS CAME OUT FOR THIS RIVER HERE, CURRENTLY IN MAJOR FLOOD STAGE. SO ABOUT 49.5FT. IT’S SET TO CREST AT 56.8FT AT 8:00 IN THE MORNING OR 8:00 AT NIGHT TOMORROW. WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT BECAUSE THE HIGHEST CREST ON RECORD, 56.85FT. SO THAT WAS BACK DURING THE FLOOD OF 1937. YOU’RE GOING TO SEE AGAIN, EXTREMELY HIGH WATER HERE. MORE THAN HALF OF MONTEREY IS FLOODED. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE LOW LYING ROADS, AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF KENTUCKY. 355 PROBABLY SEEING MORE IMPACTS THAN THAT JUST BASED ON NEAR HISTORIC CREST FOR THAT RIVER. SO YOUR HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST, CONTINUING WITH THAT WEATHER IMPACT TODAY WE’LL HAVE SHOWERS OFF AND ON ALL DAY WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING ALL AFTERNOON. SO YOU’LL NEED THE WINTER GEAR ALL DAY TODAY. EVEN CHILLIER BY TOMORROW MORNING. SO MY TIMELINE AGAIN FOR DRYING. AND THEN WE’LL LOOK AHEAD TO MAYBE SOME MINOR SHOWERS INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING COMING UP. TIFFANY. KATIE. THANK YOU. WELL, COMMUNITIES ALONG THE OHIO RIVER ARE DEALING WITH FLOODING THIS MORNING, AND THAT HAS LED TO ROAD CLOSURES AND EVACUATIONS. SO WLWT NEWS FIVE’S RICHARD CHILES JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM AURORA. THIS MORNING AS WE BRING YOU TEAM COVERAGE. GOOD MORNING. RICHARD. NOW TIFFANY GOOD MORNING. THIS IS IN THE HEART OF DEARBORN COUNTY. FOLKS HERE NO STRANGERS TO THAT FAST MOVING, HIGH RISING WATER. THIS IS A GEORGE STREET BRIDGE. YOU GET AN IDEA OF JUST HOW HIGH THIS WATER IS. YOU CAN SEE THE WATER OF THIS CREEK ALREADY LAPPING OVER THE BRIDGE DECKING. NOW, RIGHT NOW, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS TRIBUTARY TO THE OHIO RIVER, THAT RIVER RIGHT NOW, AT THAT MODERATE FLOOD STAGE, HOVERING AROUND 51FT. SO FOR THESE COMMUNITIES, YOU’VE ALREADY SEEN THESE ROAD CLOSURE SIGNS GOING UP ON THE LOW LYING AREAS WITH OBVIOUS DUE REASON. AGAIN, THIS IS A BRIDGE THAT NORMALLY TRAVERSES THIS CREEK. IT IS A TRIBUTARY INTO THE OHIO. SO WE’RE STARTING TO SEE THAT FLOW OF WATER IN AND OUT OF THE RIVER AGAIN, AS THIS RAIN IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AND WE START TALKING ABOUT ADDITIONAL RIVER FLOWING. WE’RE HOPING FOR THAT CREST SOMETIME, EITHER LATE TOMORROW OR EARLY TONIGHT. THAT WILL CERTAINLY DICTATE WHAT WE SEE. THESE ARE ROAD CLOSURES THAT ARE UP AGAIN THAT ARE KIND OF LEADING INTO THIS LOW LYING AREA. WE’RE GOING TO STAY OUT HERE. BRING YOU MORE FROM THESE FOLKS WHO’VE ALREADY BEEN FORCED TO EVACUATE FROM THEIR HOMES AS THE RIVER AGAIN, IS CREPT UP THROUGH THEIR BACKYARDS INTO THEIR BASEMENTS. SO THIS IS KIND OF THE HEART OF WHERE WE’RE SEEING THE FLOODING HERE IN EASTERN INDIANA. WESTERN HAMILTON COUNTY. IT’S BEEN A LOT LIKE THIS ON RIVER ROAD AS WELL. BUT THESE LOW LYING AREAS. THIS IS WHERE IT’S PARTICULARLY PRONE TO THIS EARLY RIVER FLOODING. THIS IS WHERE THESE FOLKS AGAIN, HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE, BUT THEY MOVE OUT AGAIN, JUST BEING VERY CAUTIOUS AS THAT RIVER INCHES UP MOMENT BY MOMENT. AGAIN, THAT IS THEIR CONCERN AS THEY WATCH, WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE RIVER WILL DO BEFORE IT RECEDES. REPORTING LIVE THIS MORNING IN AURORA, RICHAR
