Streamflow Situation from the network of US Geological Survey monitors in Ohio
Water levels continue at seasonal normal across the north and south with a band of below normal observations running through the interior, cutting across four south-flowing drainage basins. An extreme low, first percentile is recorded in Short Creek near Dillonvale in the Ohio River minor tributaries. Huron River is down several feet, no longer at record high for this time of year. Black, Rocky and Chagrin Rivers are all observed above the 90th percentile Tuesday are down to 80th percentile, above seasonal normal.
Muskingum River has the last three out of four watersheds leftover on the drought map midweek. Wills Creek's Guernsey County has recovered overnight, downgraded from extreme to moderate overnight. Adjacent Muskingum and Licking River watersheds remain below normal. Neighboring Ohio River minor tributary Wheeling Creek likewise, below normal.
