...HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED OVER THE SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS OF KENTUCKY...

A PROLONGED PERIOD OF PRECIPITATION IS FORECAST THIS WEEKEND. THE
FIRST BATCH IS EXPECTED THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. A
STALLED FRONT SOUTH OF KENTUCKY WILL ALLOW SEVERAL WAVES OF
PRECIPITATION OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS FIRST SYSTEM SHOULD DUMP
AROUND 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY. THIS
RAIN WILL CAUSE RISES ON RIVERS AND STREAMS BUT SINCE THIS AREA IS
FAIRLY DRY...THERE SHOULD BE NO FLOODING OF MAJOR RIVERS.
HOWEVER...LOCALIZED FLOODING COULD STILL OCCUR.

THE SECOND SYSTEM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY COULD DROP AN
ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN AND FREEZING RAIN MIX OVER
SATURATED GROUND. THIS NEXT SHOT COULD TRIGGER WIDESPREAD MINOR
FLOODING ON PARTS OF THE KENTUCKY...GREEN...LICKING AND SALT
BASINS WITH A FEW LOCATIONS APPROACHING MODERATE LEVELS. IF
SO...FLOODING WILL EXTEND INTO NEXT WEEK.

IF YOU LIVE IN LOW LYING OR FLOOD PRONE AREAS...WATCH WATER
LEVELS CLOSELY IF HEAVY RAINS PERSIST AND BE READY TO TAKE ANY
NECESSARY ACTIONS.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA ALL HAZARDOUS WEATHER RADIO AND YOUR LOCAL MEDIA
FOR THE LATEST ON THIS WEATHER SITUATION. MORE INFORMATION...ALONG
WITH OTHER WEATHER...HYDROLOGICAL AND CLIMATE INFORMATION CAN BE
