Flood Watch in Effect Across Parts of Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio
US · Published Aug 14, 2026
A Flood Watch remains in effect through Friday morning for portions of Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio due to the potential for flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall.
The affected areas include numerous counties across the three states, such as Dearborn, Franklin, and Wayne in Indiana; Boone, Kenton, and Mason in Kentucky; and Butler, Montgomery, and Scioto in Ohio.

Impact & Risks

The primary risk is flash flooding, which could result in significant impacts on rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying areas. Residents in the affected counties should be prepared for potential flooding, especially in areas prone to water accumulation. High water levels in creeks and streams may lead to road closures and property damage. The repeated movement of storms over the same areas could exacerbate the situation, increasing the likelihood of flash floods. Motorists should exercise caution, particularly near highway dips and underpasses, which are prone to flooding.
