Hydrologic Outlook
None

ESFJKL Multiple surface lows are expected to impact eastern Kentucky beginning late Monday night and continuing through late Thursday night. These systems will bring periods of rain, possibly moderate to heavy at times. At this time, between one and nearly four inches of rainfall is forecast through Thursday night with locally higher amounts possible. With antecedent saturated soils and elevated stream levels from recent rainfall, decent to significant rises on creeks and streams will be possible through Thursday night. The larger rivers will then likely see significant rises or minor flooding Friday into Saturday. At this time, the Cumberland, Kentucky and Big Sandy River Basins appear to be the most susceptible to seeing flooding. However, portions of the Red River and Levisa Fork could also see substantial rises. An additional round of rainfall is forecast from Saturday into Saturday night. There is high degree of uncertainty in rainfall amounts from this system at the end of the week, but they could be moderate to heavy. Should this play out that way, renewed rises on creeks and rivers would occur with localized flooding again possible. Stay tuned for further updates.
