Flood Watch continues until midnight, slight risk for severe weather

A Flood Watch remains in effect until midnight for all of Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee and severe weather is now not out of the question.

Forecasters say most areas can expect to see an inch and a half to two and a half inches of rain by late Sunday night, though three inches or more will be possible—especially in locations that see thunderstorms.

Flooding will be most likely in the usual low-lying and poor drainage areas, but some flooding of smaller rivers and streams is not out of the question.

Southern Kentucky and  Middle Tennessee are under a slight risk for severe weather. Damaging winds and a brief, spin-up tornado will be the primary threats with any severe storms that develop.

A tornado warning was in effect briefly Sunday morning for portions of Trigg, Calloway, Lyon and Marshall counties. Trigg County Emergency Management Director David Bryant did not report any damage or injuries there, as the warning was quickly canceled as the storm weakened.
