Good evening, everyone. A massive amount of rain has fallen across Kentucky in the past 36 hours, creating major flooding issues. Unfortunately, a lot more rain is on the way and will bring the severe weather threat back into the region.<\/p>\n

Much of Kentucky is currently under Flood Warnings and Flash Flood Warnings. We also have a Tornado Watch in the west and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch across the southern half of the state.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at all the current watches and warnings…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many of our larger creeks and rivers are forecast to reach moderate to Major Flood Stage in the coming days. This map shows the status of many of these…<\/p>\n

Several more inches of rain will fall over the weekend, leading to potentially catastrophic flooding.<\/p>\n

The greatest severe risk this evening into the wee hours of the morning is still across the west as the Storm Prediction Center pushed the Enhanced Risk into this region…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The west is where we have the greatest tornado risk…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Damaging winds are also a good bet out here…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Large hail will continue to be a threat…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Severe Weather Outlook for Saturday takes the overall risk area farther south and east…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think we can get some of that upgraded to an Enhanced risk before all is said and done.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a breakdown of the individual severe weather threats for Saturday\u2026<\/p>\n
