THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PADUCAH HAS ISSUED A
* FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL OF WESTERN KENTUCKY, ADJACENT PORTIONS OF
FAR SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS, EXTREME SOUTHEAST MISSOURI, AND
SOUTHERN-MOST PARTS OF SOUTHWEST INDIANA.
* FROM SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING
* A CONSISTENT SIGNAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS FORECAST,
ESPECIALLY SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. STORM TOTAL
AVERAGE RAINFALL SHOULD TOP 2 INCHES IN THE WATCH AREA, AND WITH
THUNDERSTORMS FORECAST, LOCALIZED HIGHER TOTALS TO 3 INCHES OR
MORE ARE POSSIBLE. THIS AMOUNT OF CUMULATIVE RAINFALL WILL BE
FALLING ON RECENTLY SOAKED GROUNDS FROM MELTED SNOWFALL, SO THE

COMPROMISED AND LIKELY TO CAUSE FLOOD ISSUES.
* LOW LANDS, STREETS, SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS, WILL RESPOND
FASTEST WITH STANDING WATER AND FLOODING. HEAVIER, MORE
SUSTAINED OR REPEAT RAINFALL WILL PROMOTE BROADER, MORE
EXTENSIVE FLOODING.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING BASED ON
CURRENT FORECASTS.
YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE ALERT FOR POSSIBLE
FLOOD WARNINGS. THOSE LIVING IN AREAS PRONE TO FLOODING SHOULD BE
PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLOODING DEVELOP.
