When we get this much rainfall, we know people across the Tri-State start watching and monitoring the Ohio River closely. Here is the latest river level forecast for the Ohio River at Cincinnati.
The river has already risen 9 feet since rain began Saturday. It is forecast to rise another 10 feet in the days ahead.
This will take the river well in what is called "Action Stage" at Cincinnati.
