Streamflow Situation from the network of USGS monitoring sites in the rivers and creeks of Ohio
Mostly cloudy Monday, high 62 the forecast from NWS Cleveland with hazardous weather expected midweek, see statement from the NWS below. Streamflow monitoring stations run a mix of seasonal normal to much below normal statewide. The drought map got down to three areas rated below normal with no moderate hydrologic drought. On the Lake Erie side of the divide, Tiffin River and Lower Maumee River are rated below normal in the northwest, Grand River is rated below normal in the northeast. South of the divide, Upper Ohio minor tributaries Mahoning and Shenango River watersheds are rated below normal, skipping over Little Beaver Creek watershed, which is unrated, to Wheeling Creek watershed, rated below normal. All other Ohio River minor tributary watersheds are unrated clear through to the southwest corner, Hamilton County's Laughery Creek watershed is still rated below normal. Muskingum River basin has Licking River watershed and Little Muskingum River below normal. This is a big change from just a few weeks ago where the majority of Ohio watersheds were rated, many of them moderate to severe drought.
Hazardous Weather Outlook issued by NWS Cleveland 514 am Monday Nov 18
A strong low pressure system is expected to develop over the Great
Lakes region Wednesday into Thursday, bringing widespread
precipitation to the region. Strong wind gusts and wet snow
accumulations are possible, though there is still a great deal of
uncertainty right now.

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 Nov 17 at surface wind speed 16.1 mph. This image is mostly cloud obscured, no HAB evident between clouds. The prior clear image captured Nov 13 showed localized HABs along the Ohio shoreline from Port Clinton to Catawba Island, small open water HABs in Sandusky Bay and a large area of dispersed HAB mats east of Sandusky Bay, the concentration is low, 100 thousand cells per ml or less. High wind is a factor for submerging the bloom mats.
