Good Wednesday, everyone. Rounds of heavy rain and thunderstorms are pushing across Kentucky today, kicking off a prolonged flood threat for the region. Several inches of rain will be likely through the upcoming weekend. Throw in some 30 degree temp swings and a few strong storms, and you have the making of a wild stretch of weather.<\/p>\n

Here’s my updated rainfall forecast through Sunday…<\/p>\n

That will be more than enough to cause rounds of flash flooding, general flooding and river flooding. If you live in a low-lying or flood prone region, please stay alert to the potential for high water issues.<\/p>\n

This setup has the potential to produce significant flooding issues across much of Kentucky and surrounding states.<\/p>\n

As a cold front stalls across Kentucky and will lead to some amazing temperature gradients. A 30 degree temperature swing on a given day is possible. The temps are going to be fascinating to watch during this period.<\/p>\n

I’m also watching the potential for strong or severe storms at some point later Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

Here are your tracking tools for day one of our flood threat…<\/p>\n
