Kentucky is dealing with rounds of showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday, with flood watches still posted in parts of the state and localized flash flooding possible where storms train over the same areas.
Rounds of showers and thunderstorms are moving across Kentucky on Tuesday, with officials warning that repeated storms could quickly create localized flash-flood problems in some areas.
WKYT's June 9 morning update said a larger cluster of storms was moving across the state, beginning in western Kentucky. The forecast warned that not every community will see flooding or severe weather, but areas that get hit by repeated downpours could see water rise fast.
The National Weather Service in Louisville said a Flood Watch remains in effect through 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday for parts of central Kentucky. In western Kentucky, the National Weather Service in Paducah has also kept flood-watch and hazardous-weather guidance in place, saying heavy rain could pose a flash-flood threat across parts of the Tennessee and Ohio valleys.
WFIE in Evansville reported Monday that several rounds of showers and thunderstorms were expected, with local rainfall enough to cause street flooding in some spots.
The main concern through the day is where storms move over the same areas more than once. That setup can lead to quick flooding even if the storms are not severe everywhere.
More updates will depend on where the heaviest rain sets up and whether stronger storms become more widespread later Tuesday.
