...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...
The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a
* Flood Watch for portions of east central Kentucky and south
central Kentucky, including the following areas, in east
central Kentucky, Boyle, Garrard, and Madison. In south
central Kentucky, Adair, Allen, Barren, Casey, Clinton,
Cumberland, Edmonson, Green, Hart, Lincoln, Logan, Marion,
Metcalfe, Monroe, Russell, Simpson, Taylor, and Warren.
* From Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon
* A slow-moving frontal boundary will move into the region
Saturday. Moisture coming out of the Gulf of Mexico ahead of
this front is expected to bring waves of widespread light to
moderate rainfall from Saturday through Sunday morning. Forecast
rainfall totals in the watch area range from 2 to 3 inches,
with isolated higher amounts possible.
* This much rainfall likely will lead to some area creeks and
rivers rising to near flood stage.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
