    Loveland, Ohio (9:14 PM) – Heavy rain has caused the Little Miami River to overflow onto Karl Brown Way, East Broadway, East Kemper Road, and Cones Road.

    The National Weather Service is now reporting higher than the previously expected crest of the river, now at nearly 19′ in Milford, before the river level begins to fall tomorrow. The flood stage in Milford is 17′.

    The other nearest measuring station is at Kings Mills and there it is predicted to reach 18.5′, also higher than previously predicted only a few hours ago.

    Become a Skywarn Weather Spotter for the National Weather Service

    Loveland, Ohio – Here’s a great opportunity for public service for individuals with interests in weather and communication: Take a 2-hour virtual class led by a National Weather Service meteorologist to become a Skywarn Weather Spotter. 

    Skywarn spotters volunteer to become the “eyes and ears” of the National Weather Service. Spotters serve their community by acting as a valuable source of information when dangerous storms approach.

    Classes are free, open to the public, and require registration via the links provided in each course description below. Each class covers techniques and safety for severe weather spotting. Once you attend a class, you will receive instructions for filling out online registration forms to officially become a trained spotter and can report severe weather to your NWS office. 

    During the webinar, a National Weather Service meteorologist will teach you how to properly identify and report significant weather events that have an impact on the safety of your community, such as damaging winds, hail, heavy rain, and tornadoes. At this time, there are no in-person spotter training courses scheduled for the 2021 spring season. 

    The National Weather Service encourages anyone with an interest in public service and access to communication, such as amateur radio, to participate as a Skywarn storm spotter. Volunteers include police and fire personnel, dispatchers, EMS workers, public utility workers, and other concerned private citizens. Individuals affiliated with hospitals, schools, churches, nursing homes, or who have a responsibility for protecting others are also encouraged to become a spotter.
