...Widespread heavy rainfall is expected Thursday night into

Friday...

 

.The remnants of tropical cyclone Harvey will move northeast and

across west Tennessee Thursday night, eventually reaching eastern

Kentucky by Friday evening. As the system passes close to the

area, widespread heavy rainfall is likely across much of western

Kentucky Thursday night into early Friday. Some areas will likely

see more than 6 inches of rainfall. This is most likely just north

of the Tennessee state line, from around the Murray area east to

Greenville, Hopkinsville and Elkton. Any slight shift in the track

of the system will have an impact on how far northwest the

heaviest rains will occur.

...Remnants of Tropical Cyclone Harvey to Bring Heavy Rains...

 

.The remains of tropical system Harvey will lift through the

western Tennessee Valley and into Kentucky to close out the work

week. As it does so, it will spread showers and a few

thunderstorms into the area starting on Thursday and continuing

into Saturday morning. The heaviest rains are expected for eastern

Kentucky from Thursday night through Friday night. Total rainfall

amounts from this event are expected to range from around an inch

in the far eastern parts of the state to near 3 inches along the

Bluegrass region and generally west of Interstate 75. Localized

amounts could reach 4 inches for a few spots closer to central and

northern Kentucky. This rain will result in a thorough soaking of

the region and the potential for local high water issues.
