Good afternoon, gang. Rounds of heavy rain producing showers and storms keep pushing across the state from southwest to northeast. This action will continue through the middle of the week, raising high water fears. Some of the storms may also become strong or severe.
The WPC has much of central Kentucky in a Moderate Risk for flooding through tonight…
This is the area that picked up severe flooding on Sunday and can’t hold another drop of rain. With the rain increasing later today into tonight, the situation may get pretty dicey. Here are the latest watches and warnings…
As mentioned, some of the storms may also become strong or severe. The SPC has a low-end severe risk today…
The severe storms risk increases on Tuesday…
That risk area will sink farther south Tuesday night and early Wednesday. That’s when a cold front drops into the region, finally pushing the heavy rain and storms east of us. Much cooler air filters in behind it.
To recap, the flood threat is significant through Wednesday. Flash flooding and river flooding may become a big issue for some. A few of the storms may also be strong or severe, producing damaging winds, hail and a tornado or two.
I will have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm and going through tonight. Until then, here are your rain and storm tracking radars…
Enjoy the rest of your day and take care.
Louisville sets daily rainfall record for the 24th
Now over 9″ for the month for 3rd wettest September
At my house, as of 1:15, I’m at 2.01″ for the day and 9.64″ for the month.
What is your annual-to-date? I am in one of the “drier” areas of the state this year and now am at 50.00 inches! Black Mt is over 60 inches at the mesonet but my location is over 20 miles away and about 3 000 ft lower in elevation. Your area in Central KY and others out there have to be already over the annual average and still over 3 months to go!!!
We are probably going to see some big-time river flooding later this week.
