Multiple surface lows are expected to impact eastern Kentucky
beginning late tonight and continuing through late Thursday
night. These systems will bring periods of rain, possibly moderate
to heavy at times. At this time, between one and three inches
of rainfall is forecast through Thursday night with locally higher
amounts possible.
With antecedent saturated soils and elevated stream levels from
recent rainfall, significant rises on creeks and streams
will be possible through the middle of the week. Minor flooding will
be possible along the main stem of the Cumberland and Kentucky River
Basins.
An additional round of moderate to heavy rainfall is forecast from
Saturday into Saturday night. There is still a high degree of
uncertainty in rainfall amounts from this system, but should this
turn out on the wetter side of solutions, more widespread and
potentially significant flooding would be possible. Stay tuned for
further updates.
