...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southern Indiana
and central Kentucky.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov/louisville on the
Internet for more information about the following hazards.

A Flood Watch continues through midday Sunday. A large storm system
has already soaked south central Kentucky causing widespread areal
and river flooding with some isolated areas of flash flooding. With
another 1 to 3+ inches of rain expected tonight, flooding is expected
to continue as the system drifts northward through central Kentucky.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

Windy, raw day on Sunday with falling temperatures and patchy light
rain changing to snow. Light accumulations are possible, mainly over
southern Indiana. Wind gusts of up to 35 mph are expected on Sunday.

Temperatures fall into the teens Sunday night, so lingering wet
spots may freeze. Black ice may be a concern for the Monday morning
commute.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will likely be needed to report significant
flooding.

&&

More information, along with other weather, hydrological and
climate information can be found, at weather.gov/louisville.
