...More Heavy Rain Inbound for the Start of the Weekend...

 

 

.A strong area of low pressure will bring multiple rounds of

moderate to heavy rainfall to eastern Kentucky Friday night

through Saturday night. The initial rounds of heavy rain will be

associated with a warm front as it slowly moves from south to

north across the area Friday night and Saturday. Another round of

rain will hit the area Saturday night, when a cold front crosses

eastern Kentucky. This rain will be falling on already saturated

ground, so the threat for flooding will be heightened along with

the threat for rock and mudslides. There is also a good chance

for thunderstorms Saturday night. These storms will be capable of

producing locally heavy rainfall adding to flash flooding

concerns.
