The Ohio River has dropped into a minor flood stage after moderate flooding on Thursday. It will continue to drop this weekend.
The river was measured at 55.71 feet at 1 p.m. Friday. Moderate flood stage is 56 feet. Flood stage is 52 feet.
Forecasters said the river is expected to fall below flood stage late Saturday morning and continue falling to 34.6 feet Wednesday morning.
A flood warning is in effect until Sunday afternoon.
This weekend will feature sunny skies and highs in the mid-40s. Greater Cincinnati will see a warm-up early next week, with temperatures expected to reach the 60s on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The out-of-towner was talking about Xavier University.
Once upon a time, the man from Connecticut had gone to school there. One day in early January, a cold day where temperatures barely rose above freezing, the man returned to visit the college with his daughters.
They ate at Zip’s Café, a famous Cincinnati burger restaurant in Mount Lookout. One of the workers wore Xavier gear, and so that’s what they talked about. But this wasn’t Zip’s like the man remembered. The typically cramped and crowded restaurant seemed almost barren.
There were QR codes linked to menus on the walls and signs about wearing a mask. The tables in the center of the dining room had been removed as part of COVID-19 precautions.

CINCINNATI â Prosecutors call it a secret slush fund where Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld deposited $40,000 from undercover FBI agents, allegedly in exchange for his support on a Downtown development project.
But Sittenfeldâs attorney, Charlie Rittgers, said the PAC at the heart of the governmentâs corruption case is legal, transparent and follows Federal Election Commission rules.
What U.S. District Court Judge Douglas Cole believes about Sittenfeldâs political action committee, which is named the Progress and Growth PAC, could determine his fate.
Sittenfeld, a Democrat, had been considered the front-runner to win this yearâs Cincinnati mayoral race until the FBI arrested him in November. A 20-page indictment charged Sittenfeld with two counts of honest services wire fraud, two counts of bribery and two counts of attempted extortion.

“I was standing on the front line, getting cursed out, people telling me, ‘Why don’t you quit your job?’ ”
Even the work part of the day was like nothing she’d ever known.
“I was standing on the front line, getting cursed out, people telling me, ‘Why don’t you quit your job?’” she said.
The officer gets it. In fact, some of her family members were among the protesters. But the anger directed at her, as a Black woman wearing a badge, was tough.
Her career had started in the wake of the 2001 riots, after which she joined the department to make sure people who looked like her were represented on the force.
