KYTC District 2 High Water Report for Feb. 20, 2025 at 9 p.m.

Road condition update

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (Feb. 20, 2025) High water continues to impact roads across KYTC District 2 and likely will for several days in some locations. 

With flood waters from last weekend remaining in places, melting snowfall will create other issues later this week. Areas along the Green and Ohio Rivers will likely also see increased flooding as those rivers continue to rise.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) expects the Ohio River, currently at 38.76 feet, to crest on Sunday at 39.4 feet. NOAA considers 36-43 feet a "minor" flood on the Ohio River.

The Green River at the Calhoun Dam is currently at 31.55 feet, and is now expected to crest at 32 feet tomorrow. Anything over 32 feet is considered the base level for a "major" flood for that waterway by NOAA.
