Good Wednesday, everyone. We continue to track the potential for a very heavy rain event to cause issues across our part of the world. Tropical moisture from Cindy will arrive later Thursday and carry us into the start of the upcoming weekend.
There could be an isolated storm out there today, but the real tropical moisture arrives later Thursday. There could be a healthy slug of heavy rain moving from south to north into our region during the afternoon and evening. That in itself could bring a flood threat.
Before we get into the Friday-Saturday flood threat, let’s get the latest on Tropical Storm Cindy down in the Gulf of Mexico…
What’s left of Cindy will move across Kentucky Friday into early Saturday, brining rounds of torrential rains. The best chance for flooding rains may be along and south of Interstate 64. Here’s my current threat map…
I will update that again later today on WKYT-TV.
Behind this system, it’s game on for some very cool temps for the end of June. Watch all the below normal temps settle in across much of the country…
I leave you with your interactive radar to track the weather here in Kentucky and down along the Gulf…
Make it a great day and take care.
Thanks Chris, Great job on tracking tropical storm Cindy. As of 4:00 A.M. CDT, This weather statement was issued : Heavy rainfall could produce life- threatening flash flooding across portions of the northern Gulf coast. Location of tropical storm Cindy is 170 miles south southwest of Morgan City, Louisiana, sustained winds 60 MPH, present movement northwest at 8 MPH. Minimum central pressure 997 MB, (29.94 inches ). Right now, Cindy is going to give us a nice warm summer day. Tracking tropical storms after they make landfall is about the same as tracking a snowstorm into our area. No one at this time can give an accurate prediction over the next three days in my opinion. Have a great day everyone.
Happy Summer Solstice! 1970 style! 😛

TennMark: Thanks for the summer greeting. I haven’t heard that tune in years. Great artist.
Let’s go with this…….http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BWSn0JFRiPI
Looks like it’s trending a little more southeasterly. If that continues and the cold front beats it here then we may not see much of Cindy.
