We are tracking an increased threat for flash flooding across much of the bluegrass state over the next couple of days. A weak boundary is draped across the region with areas of low pressure moving along it. That likely spells trouble with additional heavy rain producing showers and storms.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Thunderstorm action will really increase today as we get waves of boomers rolling through. A few storms could be strong or severe with damaging winds and hail the primary concerns.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; These showers and storms will be prolific rain producers and can drop a few inches in just an hour or two. That could cause some quick rises on creeks and streams.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Rounds of storms will continue to push across the region through tonight and into Friday. All tolled, many areas will likely pick up anywhere from 1&#8243;-4&#8243; of rain during this time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The potential is there for some extreme flash flooding on a local scale.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The threat for showers and storms will hang around into the coming 4th of July weekend. That could threaten to washout some parades and fireworks.<\/p>\n<p>I have you all set to follow today&#8217;s flash flood threat and storm potential&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"centerImage wide99\" src=\"http:\/\/gray.ftp.clickability.com\/wkytwebftp\/WEBWATCHES.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"centerImage wide99\" src=\"http:\/\/gray.ftp.clickability.com\/wkytwebftp\/WEBWARNINGS.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accuweather.com\/radar-large.asp?partner=netweather&amp;traveler=0&amp;site=KY_&amp;type=SIR&amp;anim=1&amp;level=state&amp;large=1#\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" alt=\"\" usemap=\"#largemap\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=PAH&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1293824059&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=LVX&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1272129536&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=JKL&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1272129776&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Today\u2019s risk area<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/outlook\/day1otlk.html\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/outlook\/day1otlk.gif\" alt=\"Latest Day 1 convective outlook\" width=\"582\" height=\"408\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Current watches<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/watch\/\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/watch\/validww.png\" alt=\"Current Watches\" width=\"582\" height=\"408\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Possible watch areas<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/md\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/md\/validmd.png\" alt=\"Current MDs\" width=\"582\" height=\"408\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Have a great day and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Thursday, everyone.
