New forecast service to provide information on Green River conditions

MAMMOTH CAVE, Ky. – A new river forecast service may make planning your commute a lot easier.

Mammoth Cave National Park officials say the service will begin Oct. 31, providing forecasts for the Green River issued by the National Weather Service in Louisville in coordination with the Ohio River Forecast Center.

One of the services will include flood warnings.

“This new forecast point will benefit visitors and park staff alike,” said Barclay Trimble, superintendent at Mammoth Cave National Park. “Being able to monitor river conditions in this manner will allow visitors to make informed planning decisions about their paddling trips down the Green River and will provide staff with the latest updates on river conditions.”

This daily service will provide additional safety-related details that you can consider before you head to the river.
