The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District is actively monitoring this week’s
forecasted heavy rainfall and preparing for potential wide-spread moderate to major flooding throughout portions of
Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. Cumulative rainfalls totals for this event may range from 2-15+ inches resulting in
elevated lake levels at the district’s Flood Risk Management (FRM) reservoirs and wide-spread moderate to major
flooding on most of the rivers within the district’s footprint.
Based on current data, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District is forecasting that West Fork Lake,
known locally as Winton Woods Lake, near Cincinnati, Ohio, could potentially reach its spillway pool of 702 feet
National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) on Sunday, April 6, 2025. Current forecasts show that the pool
could reach anywhere between 699 and 705 NAVG29. The dam is operating as designed and there are no dam
safety concerns.
