Hydrologic Outlook issued February 12 at 3:41AM EST by NWS Louisville KY ESFLMK We'll continue to see lingering drizzle and light rain this morning, before another wave of rainfall arrives later today into tonight. An additional 0.25"-.75" inches of rain is expected. While rains of this magnitude may not create flooding on their own, they will serve to keep soils saturated, streams high, and melt any lingering snow left over from Tuesday's system. A third, and likely the most impactful, system will arrive this weekend, with another 2 to 4 inches of rain in the forecast. Central and southern KY are currently expected to see the higher totals out of this wave as well. Overall, total rainfall amounts through next Sunday could range between 2 and 3 inches across southern Indiana and north central KY, and 3-5 inches in southern Kentucky. With already saturated soils, and area rivers and streams continuing to run high, these waves of rain will make areal flood and river flood threats increase as we move through the week. The river basins that stand the biggest threat of widespread minor flooding, and higher impacts, would be the Green, Rough, Rolling Fork, Cumberland, Kentucky, and Licking. The Ohio River will also see notable rises with added rainfall and contributions from tributaries. All of these streams will be subject to minor flooding, and there's about a 30-50% chance of some spots reaching moderate flooding on the Kentucky River. A moderate risk of excessive rainfall has been outlooked for much of central and southern KY by the Weather Prediction Center. Stay up to date of the latest forecasts during this active and impactful stretch of weather.
