The setup over the next few days is likely to feature severe thunderstorms and flooding rains across the region.\u00a0The atmosphere is loading up with moisture, and rounds of thunderstorms will likely put down some significant rain amounts.<\/p>\n<p>We will see the storms developing across western Kentucky this afternoon and rolling eastward this evening. Some of these storms may contain damaging winds and hail. Additional rounds of storms will move across the area on the 4th of July into Tuesday. These storms can also become severe.<\/p>\n<p>While the severe threat is there, I am still much more concerned with the heavy rain and flash flood potential.
