We have more in the way of showers and storms rolling across the Commonwealth today, but this marks the end of this prolonged period of severe storms and flooding rains. We do get a day and a half of drying ahead of another stormy setup later this week. That one unlocks some much better air.<\/p>\n<p>The past week of weather has been among the worst you will ever find for areas of the Ohio Valley and Appalachian Mountains&#8230; especially for August. Today marks the end of this 8 day stretch we had been highlighting for some nasty weather&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/EURO-MAP-25.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-78406\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/EURO-MAP-25.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/EURO-MAP-25.png 940w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/EURO-MAP-25-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/EURO-MAP-25-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Deadly flash floods and severe weather have blasted the outlined area and we have one final day of some nasty stuff. A complex of storms may be noted early today across the northern half of the state with scattered strong to severe storms going up this afternoon with the greatest concentration across the southeast.
