Louisville, KY – Heavy rain and thunderstorms will move across western and south-central Kentucky today, with the worst conditions expected tonight. Residents should be prepared for flash flooding and hazardous driving conditions. The storms are part of the remnants of former tropical system Francine, now stalled over Tennessee.
According to the National Weather Service, widespread storms will continue into Saturday before tapering off by the evening. Rainfall could exceed several inches in localized areas, particularly affecting roads prone to flooding. Motorists are urged to avoid water-covered roads and stay updated on flash flood warnings.
The weather is expected to improve by Sunday, with clearer skies and temperatures in the mid-60s. Monday and Tuesday will bring mild, sunny conditions, offering a welcome break after the storms. The next rain chance arrives late Wednesday into Thursday, though not expected to be as severe.
