The Ohio River near flood level on the Evansville riverfront

The NWS has issued a Flood Warning for the Ohio at Evansville

Rivers continue to rise in the Tri-State. WNIN’s John Gibson has details:

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Warning for the Ohio River at Evansville.

Forecasters say it should crest Sunday at 44 feet – two feet above flood stage.

A number of low-lying roads are already closed.

Authorities say never drive into standing water because it may be deeper than you think and with a dangerous current.

Transportation officials are warning drivers near the Twin Bridges to be alert for deer that may be forced onto Highway 41 by the high water.
