The Tri-State may see severe weather by mid-week, as rivers continue to rise. WNIN’s John Gibson has details:
The National Weather Service says the Evansville area faces a marginal-to-slight risk of severe storms Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Forecasters say heavy rain may lead to flash flooding.
Meanwhile, previous storms have sent river levels above flood stage at various locations, including Newburgh and Mt. Vernon.
Forecasters say the Ohio River is forecast to crest at 41 feet at the Newburgh Dam this Friday.
That’s three feet above flood stage.
The river was nearing 40 feet there Monday.
The surging Ohio has closed a number of low-lying roads in the Evansville area.
