Jackson, KY – A storm system is bringing heavy rain, possible thunderstorms, and flooding risks to Jackson and surrounding areas as February kicks off. With rainfall totals of up to 2.25 inches expected by Friday night, local rivers and creeks could reach bank-full levels, increasing the potential for flooding in low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, KY, widespread showers and storms will continue overnight into Friday, with lingering rain into Saturday morning. A high-pressure system will bring drier conditions by the weekend, but temperatures will drop, with lows reaching the mid-30s Saturday night. Sunday will be mostly sunny with highs in the 60s.
Drivers should watch for water-covered roads, especially in flood-prone areas. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet advises against driving through flooded streets. Rain chances taper off by Saturday afternoon, leading to a warmer and drier start to next week.
Looking ahead, Monday will be partly sunny with highs in the mid-60s. By Tuesday, temperatures remain mild with another round of scattered showers possible. Residents should stay updated on local weather alerts and prepare for potential travel disruptions through Friday.
