Heavy rainfall from just under two inches to nearly three inches is forecast through Wednesday. The heaviest of these rains should be in western Kentucky, from around the Land Between the Lakes area east toward Hopkinsville, and up to around Madisonville.
These rainfall amounts will likely result in areal flooding, and isolated instances of flash flooding. The ground is still recently saturated and it will not take long for the rain to run off. This will no doubt stress the already swollen creeks, streams, rivers, and their tributaries, many of which will be remaining in flood this week.
Use extreme caution in areas were flooding may occur.
