The Ohio River at Evansville is forecast to crest at about 46-and-a-half feet this Saturday.
Flood Stage at Evansville is 42 feet. The levee system is designed to protect the city up to 57 feet – more than three feet above the crest of the 1937 Flood.
The National Weather Service is forecasting at least three dry days in a row, with our next chance of rain Thursday morning.
In the meantime, the agency has also issued a Freeze Alert for tonight.
