Flood warnings up around Ohio as rivers rise
CLEVELAND (AP) — Minor flooding is being reported along rivers and streams around Ohio as warm weather melts what's left of the recent heavy snows.
The National Weather Service says the flooding could worsen, depending on how much rain falls on the state over the next several days. It has issued a flood warning for more than a half-dozen counties scattered around northern Ohio, while several others in southeast Ohio are under a less severe flood watch.
Waterways that are rising include the flood-prone Blanchard River, which has repeatedly made a mess of the northwest Ohio city of Findlay. But as of Thursday afternoon, the Blanchard was more than 3 feet below flood stage.
