A system will arrive this weekend, with another 2.5 to 4.5 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 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, this 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.
