Well above normal rainfall along the Ohio River Valley in January led to rising rivers, with flood stage exceeded slightly at Newburgh Dam, Mount Vernon, and Shawneetown late January, and J.T. Myers at midnight February 1st, continuing into the first week of February as drier weather allowed floodwaters to recede. Minor flooding resulted in very limited impacts in bottomland areas.
