April was characterized by near nearly normal temperatures across the entire Wilmington HSA. Precipitation was near normal in central Ohio, while western Ohio had precipitation about 135% of normal. Southern Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana had precipitation within 10% of normal values. A heavy rain event on the 20th resulted in the only flood warning to be issued for April. The only river point to reach flood stage was Alpine Indiana on the West Fork of the Whitewater river on April 21 and 22. The flood stage of 12 feet at Alpine was reached during the late evening on the 21st, but dropped below flood stage by midnight EST on the 22nd. Flow by the end of the month, was much below normal and included the Ohio River 47% of normal, Great Miami 50%, Little Miami 19%, Whitewater River 22%, Scioto River 26%, Licking River in northern Kentucky 23%, Hocking River 32% of normal, and the Mad River 46% of normal.

The only river point to reach flood stage was Alpine Indiana on April 21 and 22. The flood stage of 12 feet was 0200 UTC on the 22nd, and March was warmer and drier than normal. Temperatures for the month averaged 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit above normal at Dayton and 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit above normal at both Cincinnati and Columbus. Precipitation averaged 65% of normal in southeastern Indiana, 61% of normal in northern Kentucky, 77% of normal in southwest Ohio, 55% of normal in west central Ohio, 49% of normal in central Ohio and 50% of normal in south central Ohio. Despite the lack of rainfall for the month, a heavy rainfall event in early March resulted in minor flooding on the Blanchard River and a significant rise on the lower end of the Scioto River. The Scioto River at Piketon crested at 15.3 feet on March 10. Flow by the end of the month, however, was much below normal and included the Ohio River 32% of normal, Great Miami 21%, Little Miami 19%, Whitewater River 55%, Scioto River 26%, Licking River in northern Kentucky 23%, Hocking River 24% of normal, and the Mad River 23% of normal.

The only way May could be described for virtually all of the Wilmington HSA was WET. Temperature for May was near normal to slightly below for all of the CWA. Precipitation for May was well above normal for 54 of the 56 counties under the Wilmington HSA. The areas that had the most precipitation were southeast Indiana and extreme Northern Kentucky, whose precipitation for May ranged from 4.00 to 11.00" (3.5 to 6.0" above normal). All but 2 Ohio counties were above normal by 0.50 to 3.5" (monthly totals ranging from 3.5 to 7.5"). From the period of the 14th-15th, up to 1.00" of rain fell over the southern Scioto basin. This caused flooding along Paint Creek at Bourneville and the lower Scioto at Piketon. Ross county Ohio was declared a disaster area due to flooding from runoff and river flooding. The most significant rain event occurred during the 18th-19th. A Mesoscale Convective System intruded into the ILN HSA during the early morning hours on the 18th and dumped from just under 1.00 inch to 2.5 inches over much of the Whitewater, Great Miami, Little Miami and Scioto Sub Basins. Up to 4.00 inches fell over portions of the Licking river and Ohio Brush Creek. A Stationary front extended from a Low in southeast Missouri over the Ohio Valley through most of the 18th...which kept a nearly continual stream of showers over extreme southern Ohio...southeast Indiana and northern Kentucky. The soil was still wet from the rain that fell during the 14th and 15th over extreme southern Ohio. A total of 9 river flood warnings were issued in a 24 hour period. At least 30 warnings for urban areas and small streams were issued. Numerous roads across much of the county warning area were covered by several feet of water. Urban areas such as Dayton...Columbus and Cincinnati Ohio all reported motorists that had to be rescued from high water (from drivers by passing road blocks). During the 24th...a shortwave trough moved across the northern Ohio Valley...allowing nearly all of the Wilmington HSA to be in the warm sector where continual moisture streamed in from the gulf. Periodic heavy rains continued until around 1000 pm EDT on the 24th...with up to 2.50" of rain falling over portions

7 of the basin. While numerous flood warnings for urban areas and small streams were issued...the only river to reach flood stage was the Ohio brush creek. Additional rain invaded the basin on the 25th...resulting in several more urban and small stream flood warnings. Although flood stage was never reached along the Whitewater river in Indiana...there was one death on the 26th. A man lost control of his kayak while just below the Brookville dam in Franklin county. He apparently hit his head during a fall and drowned. The stage at Alpine along the West fork came within 2 feet of flood stage on the 26th (the crest was 10.1 feet during the overnight hours of the 26th. Flood stage is 12 feet).

Although no flood stages for forecast or rated river points were reached during June 1995, there were a few flooding problems along some tributaries. Beginning on the morning of June 27th, the Olentangy river (within the Scioto Basin) at Worthington, Ohio rose significantly. Worthington is on the north side of Columbus, OH and downstream from Delaware dam (a rated river location). While there is no determined flood stage at Worthington, the stage went from steady at 2.6 feet on June 25-26, to feet by 500 AM EDT on June 27. The stage began to rise around 1100 PM EDT on the 26th, crested around 500 AM EDT on the 27th, then fell back to near 4.5 feet by 500 PM EDT on the 27th. A survey of damage reported along to Olentangy by Franklin county EMA showed significant damage to a golf course/country club along the river on State Route 23. Additional flooding occurred along Ross Creek (which flows into the Olentangy) near Worthington. Significant damage occurred to numerous cars and townhomes along Springhouse road near Ross creek. A Flash Flood watch was issued for Franklin, Delaware and Union counties just after midnight on the 27th, with numerous Urban and Small Stream Flood Warnings issued throughout the night. A River flood warning was issued for the Olentangy River in Central Ohio at 215 PM EDT and continued through the afternoon of the 27th. The biggest hydrologic story for the month was urban and small stream and flash flooding. The most significant event occurred on June 29-30, when portions of Warren county Ohio had near 9 inches of rain within 24 hours. Several evacuations were necessary as some homes were completely flooded. Climate for June 1995 for the Wilmington HSA was characterized by slightly above normal temperatures (average temperature for June for the area being near 73 o F), while precipitation was above normal. The northern HSA had near normal precipitation, while the central and southern Ohio ranged from 1 to 4 inches above normal. Southeast Indiana and northern Kentucky ranged from 0.5 to 2 inches above normal. While much of the month actually had near to slightly below normal precipitation in central and southern Ohio, the precipitation events occurring between June accounted for nearly half of the month's precipitation.

Precipitation across the Wilmington HSA for July 1995 was below normal for 46 of the 56 counties within the County Warning Area. The Kentucky area averaged 2.9 inches below normal (the July average across the 12 counties was 2.01 inches). The average July precipitation for the Ohio area of the Wilmington HSA was 2.22 inches, which was.99 below normal. All Indiana counties in the HSA were also below normal, averaging 2.93 inches (1.05 inches below normal). While overall county precipitation was below normal, monthly precipitation for Dayton, Columbus and the Cincinnati Airport in Hebron, KY were all above normal. These stations ranged from 1.5 to 2.8 inches above normal. The heaviest 24 hour precipitation reports across Central Ohio occurred on July 25th through the 27th. West Central Ohio and the Miami Valley experienced the heaviest precipitation on the 15th-16th, while southern Ohio, northern Kentucky and southeast Indiana experienced the most 24 hour precipitation on the 5th. Temperatures for the month averaged about 2.0 o F above normal. Between Wilmington, Dayton and Columbus Ohio, as well as Hebron Kentucky (WSO CVG), there was an average of 9.5 days in July with high temperatures exceeding 90 o F.

13 NWS FORM E-5 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE HYDROLOGIC SERVICE AREA (HSA) (3-91) NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION NWSO WILMINGTON, OH MONTHLY REPORT OF RIVER AND FLOOD CONDITIONS AUGUST 1995 TO: Hydrometeorological Information Center, W/OH12x1 SIGNATURE National Weather Service 1325 East - West Highway, #7116 Silver Spring, Maryland IN CHARGE OF HYDROLOGIC SERVICE AREA DATE 9/7/95 When no flooding occurs, include miscellaneous river conditions, such as significant rises, record low stages, ice conditions, snow cover, droughts, and hydrologic products issued (WSOM E-41) No flood stages were reached in this river district for the month indicated above. While river flood stages were reached only four times during August 1995, there was massive damage during the month due to flooding and flash flooding. Seven counties within the Wilmington, OH HSA were declared federal disaster areas due to flood damage sustained from August 5th through the 12th (Champaign, Mercer, Shelby, Licking, Logan, Mercer and Scioto). A few river locations approached flood stage, and there was some localized flooding either above or below designated river points. The Scioto River at Piketon, OH crested twice near its 16 foot flood stage, first on the afternoon of August 8 (15.8 feet), then on the morning of August 12 (15.4 feet). While a river flood warning was issued for the Mad river at Springfield, OH on August 8, flood stage was never reached at Springfield. However, there was some localized flooding north of Springfield, and a camp ground had to be evacuated due to the Mad overflowing its banks. On August 8 again, the Great Miami river went out of its banks above Dayton, OH. While there is no forecast point above Dayton, there is a river gage at Sidney in Shelby county. The Great Miami affects downtown Sidney at a stage of 13 feet. The Great Miami at Sidney crested near 14 feet. The first few days in August 1995 were characterized by scattered light amounts of precipitation. But on the evening of August 4, the remnants of tropical systems Dean and Erin ushered in up to 7 inches of rain in a 36 hour period over parts of the Wilmington HSA. While no flash flooding occurred the weekend of the 4-6th, there were numerous instances of urban and small stream flooding, and the substantial rainfall thoroughly saturated the soil. On August 7, a slow moving warm front was draped along the Ohio river. An unstable airmass, combined with moist southerly flow allowed convection to trigger across west central Ohio. Strong but slow moving thunderstorms developed. The result was from 3 to over 10 inches of rainfall observed in west central Ohio in 12 hours. Counties hit hardest were Miami, Darke, Mercer, Champaign and Shelby. Numerous homes had to be evacuated and estimated losses exceeded $5.5 million. A

14 woman was killed while attempting to travel through a flooded roadway going from southwest Mercer county into Jay county Indiana. Record 24-hour rainfall totals were recorded from 8/7 through 8/8 at the Lockington Dam in southern Shelby county and at Piqua in northern Miami county. Lockington reported inches and Piqua 7.86 inches. Piqua picked up another 3.84 inches and Lockington another 2.14 inches on 8/9. Scioto county Ohio was also declared a disaster area following flash flooding that occurred on the evening of August Scioto county had received from 3 to 6 inches from the heavy rains on August 5-6, which made this already vulnerable county even more susceptible to flash flooding. Relatively small amounts of precipitation had fallen over Scioto county from the August 6 through August 8, enough to keep the soil near saturation. When an additional 4 to 5 inches fell in less than 12 hours over parts of Scioto county during August 9-10, evacuations, mudslides and road closures were widespread. A woman and here two children were killed during the early morning hours of August 10, as they attempted to cross a flooded roadway in their vehicle. While the early part of August was characterized by extremely heavy rain, nearly all the monthly precipitation for the Wilmington HSA occurred from August 2 through August 10. By August 9, the Indiana counties within the ILN HSA had precipitation from 1.5 to 3.5 inches above normal for the first 9 days in August. The Kentucky counties for the same period were from 2.5 to 3.2 inches above normal, and the Ohio counties were from 1 to nearly 4.4 inches above normal. The temperature and precipitation statistics for August at the three first order stations within the ILN HSA are as follows: Mean Departure Total Departure Days above Temp from Normal Precipitation from Normal 90 degrees F Covington, KY - CVG " +2.24" 20 Dayton, OH - DAY "* +4.34" 10 Columbus, OH - CMH "* +3.84" 15 * These montly totals represent the 3rd highest on record for Columbus and the 4th highest for Dayton.

Precipitation across the Wilmington HSA for September 1995 was below normal for all of the 56 counties in the CWA. Precipitation totals ranged from 0.70 to 2.40 inches below normal. The driest area was the east central portion of the CWA, with county precipitation totals more than 2.00 inches below normal. Three first order stations in the ILN HSA reported both below normal precipitation as well as temperatures. WSO Cincinnati (CVG) had 2.43" of rain for September (-0.24") and the average temperature was 65.7 o F (-1.6 o F). WSO Dayton (DAY) reported 1.03" of precipitation (-1.51") and the average temperature was 63.5 o F (-2.3 o F). WSO Columbus, OH (CMH) also was below the monthly average precipitation (-1.81"), with a total of 1.03". The average temperature for CMH for September 1995 was 64.2 o F (-1.3 o F). Cincinnati reported 15 days with measurable precipitation in September, while Columbus and Dayton each had 10 days. NWSO Wilmington reported 6 days of precipitation totalling 2.37". The greatest precipitation in 24 hours was on September for all four of the above stations.

Precipitation across the Wilmington HSA for October 1995 was above normal for all of the 56 counties in the CWA. The county monthly precipitation ranged from 2.7 to 4.7 inches. These totals ranged from 0.50 to 2.30 inches above normal for October. The wettest area was the southeast portion of the CWA, with several of the county precipitation totals more than 2.00 inches above normal. Three first order stations in the ILN HSA had slightly above normal temperatures and above normal precipitation. WSO Cincinnati (CVG) had 4.28" of rain for October (+1.42") and the average temperature was 55.3 o F (+0.2 o F). WSO Dayton (DAY) reported 5.65" of precipitation (+3.17") and the average temperature was 56.0 o F (+1.9 o F). WSO Columbus, OH (CMH) also was above the monthly average precipitation (+1.89"), with a total of 4.04". The average temperature for CMH for October 1995 was 53.7 o F (+2.4 o F). Cincinnati and Columbus each reported 10 days with measurable precipitation in October, while Dayton had 9 days. NWSO Wilmington reported 10 days of precipitation totalling 4.20". The greatest precipitation in 24 hours for Cincinnati was 2.41 inches on the 5th, Dayton's greatest was 3.54 on the 5th-6th, and Columbus had 1.62" on the 3rd-4th. The greatest 24 hour amount for Wilmington was also on the 5th, with 2.27". The county 24 hour precipitation was also greatest on the 5th, with totals ranging from 1 to 3". This was a result of tropical system Opal moving inland from the Gulf of Mexico and up through the Ohio Valley during the early morning and into the late afternoon of the 5th. Opal only caused some localized flooding (mainly inconvenience flooding), and no rivers within the Wilmington HSA neared bankfull as a result of Opal.

Precipitation for November 1995 was below normal for 46 of the 56 counties within the Wilmington, OH HSA. Most counties were less than an inch below the monthly normal precipitation for November. November 1995 precipitation totals (taken from both Co-op observers and automated rain gages) ranged from 1.5 to 2.00 inches in northern Kentucky and southern Ohio, 2.00 to 2.5 inches in central Ohio and Southeast Indiana, and 2.50 to 3.50 in western Ohio and Eastern Indiana. The three first order stations in the ILN HSA also reported below normal precipitation. WSO Columbus (CMH) recorded 2.47" of precipitation for the month, which was 0.75" below normal for November. WSO Dayton (DAY) reported 2.30" of precipitation, which was 0.77" below normal. WSO Covington, KY (CVG) reported 2.15" of precipitation, which was 1.31" below normal. NWSO Wilmington, OH reported 2.51" for November. The greatest 24-hour rainfall for all three first-order stations, as well as nearly all co-op stations, was on the 10-11th. Total precipitation on the 10th-11th was in the 0.75" to 1.25 inch range, thus accounting for nearly half of the total precipitation for the month. WSOs CVG, DAY and CMH all reported measurable precipitation on 11 days in November, while NWSO Wilmington, OH reported measurable precipitation on 9 days. Average temperature for November 1995 was well below normal for the three first order stations. The average November temperature for CVG was 37.6 o F (6.7 o F below normal). Dayton's average was 37.7 o F (-5.2 o F), and Columbus' average was 36.1 o F (-6.8 o F).

The only river rise that was of any significance during December 1995 was at Bourneville, Ohio along Paint Creek in the Scioto Basin. The Bourneville stage rose to 8.35' (flood stage is 10') on December 20. There were rises all along the Scioto between the 19th and 23rd, but no points other than Bourneville came close to flood stage. December 1995 was characterized by below normal temperatures and precipitation for all but the southern portion of the Wilmington HSA.
