Drinking Water Advisories
Nelsonville issued a BWA Monday after work was done to tie in a new water line. The area impacted is in the northwest quarter: John, Frank, Williams, Edward, Madison Streets from Cross St to the end of the line, from Frederick Street to Grover Street, Grover Street from Madison to Frederick St are under the boil order until June 20.
Hazardous Weather outlook weather message issued 911 am June 19 by NWS Cleveland forecast center
HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT FRIDAY...Heat index values of 100 to 104 degrees are expected at times this week with a Marginal Risk for severe thunderstorms today. The primary threat is damaging wind gusts.
Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses. The prolonged nature of the heat may increase heat stress with time, impacting portions of north central, northeast, and northwest Ohio.
Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9 1 1

HABS Tracker satellite monitoring by the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS)
A new sat image for Lake Erie captured June 18 at 8.1 mph is mostly cloud obscured, shows Sandusky Bay HAB between the clouds at the same high concentration 1.5 million cells per 100 ml since June 11. Raw water intakes for Sandusky City and Upper Sandusky are located in the outer bay area with an alternate intake in Lake Erie. Routine testing is underway, total microcystins to June 8 showed below minimum reporting level. More to follow as new water testing results become available.

From The Sensors provisional data on river flooding from the network of USGS streamflow monitors
Twenty-seven streamflow gauges placed in reference locations throughout the USA record flows above flood stage today. This is an increase from twenty-three yesterday. WT USA tracks the flow levels on four of these reference flood events, as the sensors read it, all occurring in the state of Louisiana.
Louisiana: Coastal flooding Vermilion Bay got above flood stage around 6 am this morning near Cypremort Point currently recorded three inches above flood stage and rising. Ongoing since June 4, Region 1 watershed's Bayou Bodcau Lake continues to flood the basin near Shreveport in Region 1, down six inches overnight and currently recorded at two feet and four inches above minor flood stage. In Region 4, west boundary river Sabine water level has peaked and started to recede near Logansport, currently recorded a foot and seven inches over minor flood stage. Flow volume has slowed for the first time in days, from over 27000 cubic feet per second yesterday to 26000 this morning. Downstream near Ruliff the water level is down three inches over the last twenty four hours, Sabine River currently running a foot and one inch over the channel, flow volume has dropped overnight from 27000 to 22000 cubic feet per second. For more info on the flooding in Louisiana, see black tags indicating flood flow volume and gauge height updated daily here.
As many drinking water facilities are supplied from surface water reservoirs, the streamflow situation is pertinent to both drinking water supply and quality. High flows can stir up sediment and cause turbidity in the reservoirs, requiring additional treatments to render the water potable. Low flow volume is linked to warmer temperatures in the reservoir and can be an issue for water quality where HABs are present. WT tracks streamflow trends with an eye to the impacts on drinking water supply and quality in each of the state's watersheds. Check the watershed layer on the map to see the direction of flow and streamflows that may be impacting drinking water today.
USGS Provisional Data Statement
Data are provisional and subject to revision until they have been thoroughly reviewed and received final approval. Current condition data relayed by satellite or other telemetry are automatically screened to not display improbable values until they can be verified.
Provisional data may be inaccurate due to instrument malfunctions or physical changes at the measurement site. Subsequent review based on field inspections and measurements may result in significant revisions to the data.
Data users are cautioned to consider carefully the provisional nature of the information before using it for decisions that concern personal or public safety or the conduct of business that involves substantial monetary or operational consequences. Information concerning the accuracy and appropriate uses of these data or concerning other hydrologic data may be obtained from the USGS.
