Good Thursday, everyone. We are tracking an increased threat for flash flooding across much of the bluegrass state over the next couple of days. A weak boundary is draped across the region with areas of low pressure moving along it. That likely spells trouble with additional heavy rain producing showers and storms.
Here’s a breakdown:
– Thunderstorm action will really increase today as we get waves of boomers rolling through. A few storms could be strong or severe with damaging winds and hail the primary concerns.
– These showers and storms will be prolific rain producers and can drop a few inches in just an hour or two. That could cause some quick rises on creeks and streams.
– Rounds of storms will continue to push across the region through tonight and into Friday. All tolled, many areas will likely pick up anywhere from 1″-4″ of rain during this time.
– The potential is there for some extreme flash flooding on a local scale.
– The threat for showers and storms will hang around into the coming 4th of July weekend. That could threaten to washout some parades and fireworks.
I have you all set to follow today’s flash flood threat and storm potential…
Today’s risk area
Current watches
Have a great day and take care.
Thank you Chris for keeping us informed.
I’m tired of this pattern.
Flash Flood Watch area seems really skimpy! Most of KY is not included which has had a lot of rain lately and today’s heavier rains seems to be fallen in TN where no watch was ever issued for that state either…thinking?
This mornings showers and lightning was one of those storms you get a good sleep. Rolling thunder and the rain hitting the roof is a great combo.
I am not exactly for sure what is blocking the rain off of Extreme SE KY as everything seems to dry up before getting here. It could be that the front is not centered near enough as everything has been weakening and mostly falling apart over the past couple of days before getting close to the KY/VA border. I wonder if the flash flood watch will be cancelled for this part of the state as we have not had much rain so far today or this week!
