Rounds of heavy rain producing showers and thunderstorms will continue to work in from the west and southwest tonight through Tuesday night. These rounds will bring the threat for flooding and the potential for strong to severe storms.<\/p>\n<p>The greatest severe threat tonight remains across the west. That&#8217;s where the Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal to Slight Risk for many, with the Enhanced Risk into the western tip of the state&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/public\/state\/images\/KY_swody1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The risk area will focus farther east on Tuesday.
