Sorry didn't catch that question above - I'm not sure the reason behind the bias, since I am not involved with river forecasting just data aquisition. Hopefully the OHRFC is aware of it. :)

Meanwhile, the Ohio at Cincinnati is supposed to top 44 feet: CCNO1:CINCINNATI 52: 35.7/: -1.8: 42.5 / 44.2 / 43.7 / 44.2 WED AM Guess who wrote that ;) Thankfully it crested a few feet below flood stage.

Well we have a few guys that commute from Cincinnati, Columbus and even Indiana, so you may not have to leave :). Do you have a degree in hydology or meteorology? When there is a river flood warning, you will see Hamilton County lit up bright green on our main page and that product will be obtainable just by clicking on Cincinnati. The FLW will be updated much more often, and for more forecast points when there is flooding. Also, the RVD becomes more detailed in those situations as well. As for the acronyms...those drive me crazy. My first few weeks training there, they are telling me all about how I will be in charge of the RVA and RVD and AFD and SCA and NWA and I'm like woah slow down there. Basically, every one of our products begins with CLE from the old days when Cleveland was the main office in the state (that is no more), every product will end in ILN for Wilmington, and then RVD stands for River Data (I believe), FLW for FLood Warning, and so on. Cool to have a hydo enthusiast on here :)

Actually yeah I am at ILN. My work is to gather river state data and issue the RVD that you linked to above, as well as the RVA (http://www.erh.noaa.gov/iln/afos/CLERVAILN). Our forecasts come from the Ohio River Forecast Center which is across the hall from us. They do the long term forecasting, we concentrate on short term flooding, which I haven't had to deal with yet (started here in Oct).

Heh, this is a product I am in charge of updating. You're welcome ;)

I travel 73 in and out of Wilmington every day - this bypass is desperately needed. But it needs to connect with I-71... claiming it's unnecessary is nuts. 73 and 68 are not built to safely accommodate the high volume of truck traffic. 73 especially has numerous driveways, mail stops and bus stops which are extremely unsafe when combined with hundreds of semis going 60 mph over hills and valleys. They could at least make it connect at the 73/I-71 interchange if they don't want a 3rd Wilmington interchange with I-71.

I voted in this thread to make Chris happy. See? I posted on urban ohio.
