That’s according to the National Weather Service in Paducah, who says projections could change and therefore where exactly will get the most rain is unknown, it’s likely that the areas that will be most impacted is west Kentucky, particularly in the Pennyrile region. Between Monday through Wednesday, the area could see between four to six inches of rain, with the bulk of it to fall Tuesday and Tuesday night.
That could lead to overland flooding, especially in poorly drained and low-lying areas. Gusty winds surrounding Ida may also cause issues for some trees and structures that may be weakened by torrential rainfall on Tuesday.
