Flood Watch and Winter Weather Advisory

The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a Winter Weather Advisory from 6amCT on Thursday to 6amCT on Friday for Adair, Cumberland, Metcalfe, and Russell Counties. Freezing rain with ice accumulations of one to two tenths of an inch are expected at some point, as a large winter weather system brings cooling air to the region. Some minor accumulations of sleet and snow are also possible.

As temperatures drop, watch out for slippery road conditions. Drivers are advised to slow down and use caution while traveling. Significant icing is expected across portions of Kentucky mainly north of the Cumberland Parkway. A State of Emergency has been declared, and the storm is expected to create difficult travel conditions on major interstates.

In addition, the National Weather Service in Louisville is advising that flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible from Thursday morning through late Thursday night. Rainfall amounts of 2.5 to 3.5 inches with locally higher amounts will be possible in portions of south central Kentucky, including Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Metcalfe, and Russell Counties.

Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
