Rounds of Moderate to Heavy Rainfall On Track to Affect the Area Through the End of the Week... A slow-moving cold front will approach from the west today through Thursday, before crossing the region on Thursday night. This system will bring periods of rain, possibly moderate to heavy at times, to eastern Kentucky. At this time, between one and nearly two inches of rainfall is forecast through Thursday night. Locally higher amounts are possible where isolated thunderstorms and training occurs. With this rainfall, decent and significant rises on creeks and streams will be possible through Thursday night. Accordingly, there is the potential for some localized flooding where repeated thunderstorms or heavy rains occur. The larger rivers will then likely see significant rises or minor flooding Thursday into Friday. At this time, the Cumberland River Basin appears to be the most susceptible to seeing flooding; however, portions of the Kentucky River Basin could also experience substantial rises. An additional round of rainfall and isolated thunderstorms is forecast from Saturday into Saturday night. There is high degree of uncertainty in rainfall amounts from this system at the end of the week, but they could be moderate to heavy. Should this play out that way, renewed rises on creeks and rivers would occur with localized flooding again possible. Stay tuned for further updates.
