...Impactful Flooding Expected This Weekend...

We`ll continue to see lingering drizzle and light rain this morning,
before another wave of rainfall arrives later today into tonight. An
additional 0.25"-.75" inches of rain is expected. While rains of
this magnitude may not create flooding on their own, they will serve
to keep soils saturated, streams high, and melt any lingering
snow left over from Tuesday`s system.

A third, and likely the most impactful, system will arrive this
weekend, with another 2 to 4 inches of rain in the forecast. Central
and southern KY are currently expected to see the higher totals out
of this wave as well. Overall, total rainfall amounts through next
Sunday could range between 2 and 3 inches across southern Indiana
and north central KY, and 3-5 inches in southern Kentucky.

With already saturated soils, and area rivers and streams continuing
to run high, these waves of rain will make areal flood and river
flood threats increase as we move through the week. The river basins
that stand the biggest threat of widespread minor flooding, and
higher impacts, would be the Green, Rough, Rolling Fork,
Cumberland, Kentucky, and Licking. The Ohio River will also see
notable rises with added rainfall and contributions from
tributaries. All of these streams will be subject to minor
flooding, and there`s about a 30-50% chance of some spots reaching
moderate flooding on the Kentucky River. A moderate risk of
excessive rainfall has been outlooked for much of central and
southern KY by the Weather Prediction Center.

Stay up to date of the latest forecasts during this active and
impactful stretch of weather.
