...CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING NORTH-NORTHEAST
THROUGH PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON...

A LARGE CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. MUCH OF THE
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN CENTERED EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 65 CORRIDOR.
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE TENNESSEE PLATEAU WILL ALSO
MOVE NORTHEAST INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE TORRENTIAL
RAINS...WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH AND INTENSE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING
AS THEY MOVE THROUGH THE REGION. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF THREE
QUARTERS TO ONE AND A QUARTER INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS MAY CAUSE PONDING OF WATER ON AREA ROADWAYS
AND REDUCE VISIBILITY AT TIMES. THE HEAVY RAINFALL MAY ALSO RESULT
IN SOME MINOR FLOODING OF POORLY DRAINED AND LOW-LYING AREAS.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA ALL HAZARDS WEATHER RADIO AND YOUR LOCAL MEDIA
FOR THE LATEST UPDATES ON THIS WEATHER SITUATION.
