Good Monday and welcome to the month of March. Torrential rains over the closing days of February continue to lead to major flooding issues as we kick off day one of Meteorological Spring. The high waters will continue for several more days along our rivers, even as the overall pattern dries out for a while.

Our rainfall is winding down early today, but the flooding remains, especially on the rivers and bigger creeks.

Here is a look at where we stand with current water levels and the forecast crests along some of these bigger waterways…

Kentucky River near Ravenna

South Fork Kentucky River at Booneville

Elkhorn Creek at Peaks Mill

Stoner Creek at Paris

Here are your radars to follow the early day rain out of the state…

With the drying trend comes cooler temps as highs today generally reach the upper 40s to low 50s. This dry air likely hangs tough for much of the week, but there is the chance for a few showers to graze us late Tuesday and Wednesday.

From there, we will be seeing colder air coming in later in the week through the weekend. That will be followed by a blast of milder air into next week…

With that warmer setup could come some more thunderstorm action. I’ll throw you guys another update later today.

Have a great Monday and take care.
