Periods of rain that occurred from Friday February 26th through the morning of Monday March 1st due to multiple disturbances caused flooding to occur across southeast Ohio. Over two inches of rain fell in the area, which spilled into the Ohio River and led to moderate river flooding for the first few days of the new calendar month. The Ohio River at Lloyd Greenup Lock reached a historic crest height of 57.99 feet, which is the 8th highest crest this location of the river has ever observed.
