Good afternoon gang. Heavy rains really pounded parts of central Kentucky overnight into this morning. This has caused flooding in many areas. The good news is the rains are moving out and will continue to do so this afternoon and evening.
Some areas have picked up better than three inches of rain so far…
Rainfall Since Midnight
Track the rains out of town here…
Looking ahead…
– Chilly temps will continue to hang tough through Wednesday.
– A system diving in here late Thursday into Friday should touch off some scattered showers and storms.
– Kentucky Derby Saturday and Mother’s Day Sunday will see a greater chance for scattered showers and storms as temps recover toward normal.
– Warm air fights in early next week and this is likely to set the stage for more severe weather from the plains into the Ohio Valley by mid week.
Have a great rest of your day and take care.

Is this thing ever going to take an eastward move?? Or just continue its SW-NE jog for the rest of the evening? Looks like its just getting to us down here in Southeast Ky..
Thank goodness the rain is moving out! I am totally waterlogged! I have to go in and out several times a day, and my poor feet are so wet they are shrivelled up! (Too bad they won’t shrink a little, I have skis) 😉
Anyway, even if it is temporary, it is still good news. We have water standing everywhere,and the ditches are full. (Hmmm…I may NEED those ski feet if the rain keeps up! )
Looks like an early start to lake season! Oh wait, no, thats just the river flooding outside my window..
Lincoln, I am abut ready to ‘stock’ the ditchline that runs between my house and the neighbors! It has had so much water in it, it is not funny!
I really wasn’t sure if we were going to see very much rain out of this system in Lexington…….But………..If my math is correct…..Since Saturday, we have picked up 3.05 inches of rain in Lexington. Wild!

I noticed you said on your blog that increased soil moisture promotes MORE rain from future systems. That’s interesting. I guess the same can be said for drought conditions. Dry ground zaps moisture from systems.
There’s is now a winter weather advisory for 1-3″ of snow in the higher summits of…Hawaii!
The Army Corps of Engineers has begun a controlled release from Taylorsville Lake in Spencer County which is causing the Salt River in Spencer and Bullitt Counties to rise. KY 44 is now closed in western Bullitt County due to flooding.
Also according to the Spencer Magnet Taylorsville Lake has surpassed the record set back in 1997 of 586.5 feet.
How’s the Palmer drought index looking? This is nuts…I’m ready for a drought.
Hi, I appreciate the information that you have provided in the post. It is worth noting and I really liked the presentation as well. I will surely come back for more of interesting posts.
