Hydrologic Statement
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
215 PM EST Thu Jan 30 2025
Past 24 hour precipitation...
Snow showers yesterday saw liquid equivalent of a trace to 0.15
inches north of Pittsburgh and in the ridges of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia.
Forecast precipitation for the next 48 hours...
Basin average rainfall is forecast to range from 0.60 to 1.40
inches, with the highest amounts over the Monongahela,
Youghiogheny, and Cheat river basins.
River trends...
Allegheny Basin:
Upcoming rainfall and current snowpack are lighter in the Allegheny
Basin than others. However, rain on rotting snow, river ice and the
heating induced snowmelt are likely to cause rises this weekend of
1-2 feet. These rises could be enough to disturb the current ice
coverage on the river and lead to icejam flooding. At this time no
points in the Allegheny Basin are expected to reach action stage.
Monongahela, Youghiogheny and Cheat Basins:
These basins are grouped together because their anticipated rain
totals, snowpack and ice coverage are expected to create similar
issues.
Rises on the Upper Monongahela and Cheat rivers are expected between
6-12 feet. These rises will certainly disturb any river ice and can
exacerbate issues seen across these basins. At this time there are
several locations in these basins forecast to reach action stage.
Rises on the Lower Monongahela are expected to range between 10-20
feet. This is expected to take all forecast points on the Lower
Mon to action, but not to minor flood.
Rises on the Youghiogheny are expected to be on the order of 3-6 feet.
These rises will certainly disturb thick river ice observed along
the river. At this time no points are forecast to reach action
stage but issues due to ice jams can bring flood concerns anyway.
Ohio and Musk Basins:
Expected rainfall totals and observed snow depth is lesser across
these basins. However ice coverage is plentiful.
Rises on the Ohio are expected to be on the order of 5-10 feet.
At this time no points are forecast to move to action stage but
the disturbance of ice may cause issues.
Rises on the Beaver, Muskingum and Tuscarawas rivers are expected
to be on the order of 1-3 feet. At this time no points are
expected to move to action stage. However, these rises are
sufficient to disturb plentiful areal ice coverage and cause
issues.
