Several areas of the state have been hammered by flooding rains over the past few days. With the setup favoring rounds of storms continuing, additional flooding problems will be possible in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>As noted in earlier updates&#8230; a few strong or severe storms will be possible during this time. We have the potential for a cluster of big boomers working our way from the northwest later today into tonight. Much of the day should be dry.<\/p>\n<p>Still, flooding is the greatest threat of the next several days. The models continue to point toward a lot of water possibly falling across central and eastern Kentucky&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Euro6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10757\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Euro6.png\" alt=\"Euro\" width=\"845\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Euro6.png 845w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Euro6-300x173.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/a> I want to stress how this pattern has flash flooding written all over it&#8230; especially across the eastern half of the state. If you live in a flood prone area, please do not take any thunderstorm lightly. They can dump a tremendous amount of water in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it&#8217;s NOT going to rain all the time and you may not have it rain each day where you live. Rounds of storms means just that&#8230; it comes at us in rounds with steamy air in between.<\/p>\n<p>Western Kentucky still looks to get in on some hot weather this week and a day or two can turn very toasty for the rest of the state. Enjoy it, much cooler air is coming in for next week and that may carry us through Labor Day Weekend.
