Well above normal rainfall along the Ohio River Valley in January led to rising rivers, with flood stage exceeded slightly across the river from Newburgh Lock and Dam, Mount Vernon, and Shawneetown by the end of the month, continuing into early February. Minor flooding resulted in very limited impacts in bottomland areas.
