Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected to affect the area through the evening leading to a potential for flash flooding considering the soaked grounds in certain parts of eastern Kentucky. Confidence in any location seeing flooding is low, though, given the tough to predict nature of training storms. As a result caution and awareness is urged today and this evening. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
