The Flood Watch continues for most of the region through the weekend…
As this system continues to slowly spin to our south, it has the potential to spit out some big time rains across the region through Sunday night and early Monday. I’m growing more concerned about southern and southeastern Kentucky during this time.

The Excessive Rainfall Outlook from the Weather Prediction Center continues to highlight the flood threat today through Monday…

As always, I leave you with your daily tracking toys…
