With the current flood-potential event, many of our subscribers are interested in more closely monitoring river levels in Southeast Ohio and adjacent West Virginia. If you are concerned with the Hocking River watershed, the near real-time hourly stream gauge readings for Athens, Glouster and Enterprise (Logan) are available at: http://w8kvk.com/hr . These gauges are read at the top of the hour, but due to the volume of data, usually don't update on the displays until the bottom of the hour. The "Hydrographs" for each of these stations provides useful rise-rate and forecast data. If you are outside the Hocking River Watershed, the following USGS online services may be of value: WATERALERT: which allows you to receive text or email when a given stream reaches or exceeds a Stage or Flow value you specify; and STREAMAIL: which allows you to query a specific stream gage by text or email to request its most recent Stage & Flow values. Usage instructions for both of these services at: http://climate.athens.oh.us/WaterAlert.html Finally, there is a Southeast Ohio Flood Potential Monitoring Page with a variety of useful information and monitoring products: http://seorf.ohiou.edu/~xx073/floodprep.html FYI with Regards, Ted Jacobson StormFlood List Manager ------[ F.Y.I. ]----------------------------- Ohio University's 8th Annual Meteorological Symposium - March 25th, 2017 FREE and everyone welcome.
