* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Excessive rains of the past week have left a good portion of
the area primed for high water issues should we see training
thunderstorms today and this evening. Numerous showers and
thunderstorms are expected to affect the area through the
evening leading to a potential for flash flooding considering
the soaked grounds in certain parts of eastern Kentucky.
Confidence in any location seeing flooding is low, though,
given the tough to predict nature of training storms. As a
result caution and awareness is urged today and this evening.
