Louisville, KY — A cold front moving through Kentucky today is expected to bring widespread rain and isolated thunderstorms, the National Weather Service in Louisville reports. Rain will continue through tonight, providing some drought relief but also creating a minor flood risk in heavily impacted areas.
Most of the region can expect 1 to 3 inches of rain, with isolated pockets receiving 3 to 5 inches or more, particularly in central and western Kentucky. While the rainfall will help replenish dry soil, residents in low-lying or flood-prone areas should monitor local alerts for possible minor flooding.
Showers are expected to persist into late evening, with a few thunderstorms possible. Severe weather is not anticipated, though a stronger storm could develop if afternoon clearing occurs, mainly in south-central Kentucky.
Cooler, drier air will arrive behind the front by midweek, bringing more comfortable fall conditions across the state.
