River scheduled to crest tomorrow

The National Weather Service and NOAA are still forecasting the Ohio River will crest tomorrow. The new high level predicted is 55.7 feet. The current river level is 55.35 feet.

Note: Local government and emergency management officials are saying the river will likely crest higher than this figure due to the large amount of rainfall in the past two days.

Even at 55.7 feet, flooding in Crittenden County would be the greatest since the 1937 flood.
