With heavy rain in the forecast through Tuesday morning, a Flood Watch has been issued for all of western Kentucky and middle Tennessee until 6 a.m. Tuesday.
The National Weather Service in Paducah says the region can expect two-to-four inches of rain, with locally higher amounts, especially along the Tennessee border.
Many creeks and rivers are already up from the most recent heavy rain and additional rainfall on soaked ground is likely to cause some river flooding and standing water in the usual places.
Stay tuned to the WHOP Family of Stations for any possible warnings and motorists encountering standing water are reminded to turn around, don’t drown.
