Good afternoon, everyone. Significant flooding issues are ongoing across much of the state and this will only worsen as we go through the rest of the day into tonight. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms will continue to work across some of the same areas, putting down more in the way of heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

Many counties are currently under Flood Warnings or Flash Flood Warnings. Most rivers and major creeks are also under warnings and that includes the Ohio River. River flooding will be an issue for days to come.<\/p>\n

For the rest of the day into tonight, the greatest risk for additional flooding is now across the southern half of the state. Another 1″-3″ will be possible in this area through tonight, leading to major flooding issues. Here are some of the highest forecast levels on various waterways…<\/p>\n

Damaging wind is the primary threat with any of the storms that go up.<\/p>\n

I leave you with your Sunday storm tracking tools…<\/p>\n
