Dec 28, 2015
Flooding of the White, Wabash, and Ohio Rivers began late in December and continued into January. A very wet pattern developed during the second half of the month. A large upper-level ridge became established over the eastern half of the country, while a large trough formed over the West. This set up a warm southwest flow that brought in copious amounts of moisture. Around five inches of rain fell in the Evansville area from the 23rd to the 28th.
