Good afternoon, gang. Showers and thunderstorms are kicking off a very wet week here in the commonwealth of Kentucky. The remnants of Harvey are expected to track our way for the second half of the week, bringing very heavy rains into the region.

Let’s start with the storms that are out there today. Local 1″-2″ amounts may cause some quick rises on area creeks and streams…

More of the same will be noted for Tuesday as our upper level system works through the Ohio Valley.

From there, it’s all about what happens with Harvey. I made this Map Sunday, and see no need for any changes right now…

The latest National Hurricane Center forecast continues to adjust toward the above scenario…

The GFS is finally aboard with this scenario…

We will need to be on guard for Flooding issues to develop late week into the Labor Day weekend. This is a slow-moving system and the models will likely undercook the rain numbers well inland.

I will have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm.

Enjoy your afternoon and take care.
