NWS (Paducah, KY) – A Flash Flood Watch is in effect through late Saturday night for our area.
Multiple rounds of rain, moderate to heavy at times will increase the risk for area flooding through the end of the week.
An event total of 4 to 7 inches of rainfall is likely across the Watch area through late Saturday night.
Isolated low land and poor drainage areal flooding cannot be ruled out before then.
The main flooding concern will be along small streams and creeks that feed into already swollen rivers across the region. especially in areas that receive multiple rounds of moderate to heavy rainfall.
Elsewhere, elevated water levels in low lying and poor drainage areas may lead to standing water across some roads that typically flood.
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts.
