SUMMARY: The Ohio River is finally receding after weeks of flooding, with levels expected to drop below flood stage by Sunday. The river crested at 36.6 feet on Wednesday but has since dropped to 32.4 feet. Despite some areas, like the Great Lawn, still being submerged, the water should continue to recede by early next week. This weekend will bring sunny weather with temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s on Saturday and near 70 on Sunday. While conditions improve, chilly temperatures overnight may cause frost, and allergy sufferers should prepare for worsening tree pollen levels.

SUMMARY: Governor Andy Beshear provided an update on Kentucky’s flood recovery, with the death toll rising to six. Over 70 counties have declared states of emergency, and flooding continues downstream. Beshear expressed concern that disaster funding may run out soon, but no special session is planned yet. FEMA assistance will be requested on Friday, initially covering 10-12 counties. Affected families could receive up to $42,000 in aid, with $750 in initial help. The governor urged residents to document all damage carefully to aid their applications. Recovery centers’ locations are being discussed with FEMA as the disaster response continues.

Gov. Andy Beshear said the state is not at a point to require a special session to respond to natural disasters “yet.”
