ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Excessive rains of the past week have left a good portion of the area primed for high water issues should we see training thunderstorms today and this evening. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected to affect the area through the evening leading to a potential for flash flooding considering the soaked grounds in certain parts of eastern Kentucky. Confidence in any location seeing flooding is low, though, given the tough to predict nature of training storms. As a result caution and awareness is urged today and this evening. http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
