Good afternoon, folks. Torrential rains continue to work across parts of Kentucky, leading to additional flooding and flash flooding. More rounds of flooding are on the way into the weekend, with the increasing threat for severe thunderstorms.

The current flood issues are across western and parts of central Kentucky. Numerous counties are under Flood Warnings…

This matches up well with the high risk area we put out yesterday…

Additional showers and storms move through tonight and Saturday, each bringing the potential for more flooding.

The setup for late Saturday into Saturday night continues to look especially troublesome. Strong to severe storms may rumble from west to east across the state. Here’s my map from a few days ago, showing the impacted areas…

The Storm Prediction Center has much of central and western Kentucky in the severe weather risk area, but this will likely be expanded as we get closer…

Damaging winds, large hail are the main severe weather contenders, but isolated tornadoes are possible.

A VERY similar looking setup is already showing up by Wednesday…

I will have the very latest on WKY-TV starting at 4pm, so be sure and tune in. I will also throw you another update this evening. Until then, let’s do some Friday tracking…
