The National Weather Service predicts the Ohio River, which separates the Kentucky from Illinois, will not dip below the required level for ferry operation until sometime Sunday. Lonnie Lewis, owner/operator of the ferry, said the river must be at 42 feet or below at Shawneetown, Ill., before he can transport cars to and from Ky. 91 and Ill. 1.
The river is expected to crest at 45.4 feet Thursday morning at Shawneetown.
