Kentucky Severe Flood Watch | Effective 06/22/2026 06:14

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of east central, northeast, south central, and southeast Kentucky, including the following counties, in east central Kentucky, Bath, Elliott, Estill, Fleming, Menifee, Montgomery, Powell and Rowan. In northeast Kentucky, Johnson and Martin. In south central Kentucky, Laurel, Rockcastle and Whitley. In southeast Kentucky, Bell, Breathitt, Clay, Floyd, Harlan, Jackson, Knott, Knox, Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Magoffin, Morgan, Owsley, Perry, Pike and Wolfe. * WHEN...Through this evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Excessive rains of the past week have left a good portion of the area primed for high water issues in locations that experience training thunderstorms through this evening. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms, some with torrential downpours, 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 experiencing flooding is low, though, given the tough to predict nature of training storms. As a result caution and awareness is urged through this evening.
