Good Saturday evening, gang. Torrential rain producing showers and thunderstorms have been common across western Kentucky today. Paducah is already up to their wettest August day on record with 4.49″ of rain. This is now the wettest August on record for Paducah. Lexington, Louisville and Bowling Green are already well into the top 10 and will climb their respective ladders through Sunday.
Heavy rain is going to keep increasing across the state this evening and that carries through tonight and Sunday. Fairly widespread 1″-2″ totals will be likely with local amounts doubling that. This will lead to the threat for high water issues during this time.
Some strong storms will also be possible and I have you set to keep tracking the action…
Rainfall Since Midnight
Enjoy the evening and take care.
Thanks Chris for always watching out for us here at The Blog. Looks like we have a lot of moisture still to come our way.
Looks like a Frankfort and east event tonight. Just a little bit of drizzle at my place today, just enough to wet the pavement. Radar trends show little rain for me and I’m okay with that.
Looks like Bowling Green at Warren County airport got pounded last hour…quite likely the all-time wettest August record has just been broken.
Unofficially, Bowling Green has breached 10″ for the month of August…Lexington next???
