Streamflow Situation from the network of USGS monitors in Ohio
Streamflows in the Lake Erie basin run mostly normal with some above seasonal normal activity in the east watersheds. The northwest has three stations recording below 10th percentile contributing to severe drought in the Auglaize River and Lower Maumee River watershed at moderate drought, Tiffin River is recovered from severe drought to below normal. Adjacent St Joseph's River watershed is also below normal. In the northeast, Grand River watershed remains in severe hydrologic drought, all adjacent area is now unrated. Streamflows across the state divide in the Ohio River-Mississippi drainage area are rated mostly normal in central Ohio Scioto River basin. The Great Miami basin is recording below seasonal to much below normal values in a handful of sites. Muskingum River basin runs normal to much below normal values, Ohio River minor tributaries likewise below normal to much below normal.
South of the drainage divide, drought ratings apply through the majority of Muskingum River basin, Mohican watershed is below normal, adjacent Walhonding, Muskingum and Hocking River watersheds in moderate drought, adjacent Tuscarawas and Little Muskingum River rated below normal. Upper Ohio River minor tributary Mahoning River is cleared from the drought map Tuesday, Wheeling Creek watershed is back on the drought map at moderate drought. Downstream, the Ohio River tributary Shade River remains in moderate drought, adjacent Raccoon-Symmes watershed remains below normal. Scioto basin retains one area rated below normal, this being Paint Creek watershed. Great Miami basin remains unrated on the drought map.
WT HAB Tracker from the satellite monitoring program of the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science(NCCOS)
The latest upload from NCCOS was captured Oct 14 at surface wind speed 20 mph, a mostly cloud obscured image. The only HAB activity visible in this image is widespread five nm off shore from Port Clinton. The previous image showed a bit more, including multiple localized HABs along the Michigan shore. The highest concentration is in North Maumee Bay, widespread HAB matching 600 thousand cells per ml, the others at 100 thousand cells per ml or less.
