Jan 1, 2016
The widespread river flooding that began late in December continued into early January. Some of the flooding reached major levels along the Ohio River downriver from Paducah, but elsewhere the river flooding was minor to moderate. The very wet pattern that developed during the second half of December gradually dried out in January. This allowed all the rivers to fall below flood stage during the early or middle part of the month.
