Sizeable amounts of rainfall are expected this week in southeast Kentucky. That possibility coupled with a continuing snow melt is causing flooding concerns. Pete Geogerian is a meteorologist with the Jackson National Weather Service. "We are looking at generally two to three inches of rain to fall across eastern Kentucky between Tuesday evening through early Thursday morning," said Geogerian.
Geogerian says, at this time, he's not expecting a major flooding event. He says minor flooding along the Kentucky and Cumberland River basins is likely this week. "They are a little bit higher than what they normally are,” he said. “We are seeing some of that run off from the snow melt making it into the rivers, so they are actually edging up."
Forecasters are predicting that much colder temperatures will hit Kentucky later this week.?
