Water Logged and Storm Weary

Another round of heavy rain is possible today, affecting communities that have seen too much rain already.

Frankfort has already recorded its 7th wettest July on record...a sloshing 7.88"  and we are only at the halfway point of the month (almost).

Louisville and Lexington are closing in on their top ten wettest July's.

In Louisville, MSD automated rain gauges show some locations receiving 8-10" for this month. St Matthews has seen 8.94" while the Billtown Pumping Station in southeast Jefferson County has 9.94". Amazing!

Storm ravaged areas coupled with too much rainfall may be causing residents to display the white handkerchief fairly soon.

One Mesonet site in Harrodsburg recorded a 74 mph gust this morning while 50-65 mph winds were common elsewhere with these severe episodes.

Though not expecting a widespread issue today, I would expect a decent amount of storm reports today. Stay safe everyone.
