Numerous rain events led to renewed flooding of the Ohio River in March. Minor to moderate flooding occurred along large parts of the Kentucky side of the river. Monthly rainfall was 2 to 4 inches above normal for most of the area. Wet soil conditions contributed to runoff occurring fairly quickly with heavy rain. The flooding continued into April.
