Additional areas of areal flooding and flash flooding will continue though in the near-term. DISCUSSION...Radar imagery continues to show a west to east axis of moderate to locally heavy rain associated with showers and thunderstorms continuing to focus across the region to the north of a returning warm front. Warm air advection/isentropic ascent over this boundary along with the proximity of an elevated instability gradient is a factor in maintaining the convective threat and this continues to be aided by a persistent south-southwest low-level jet of 30 to 40 kts. The 12Z HREF guidance insists that the threat for heavy rains over areas downstream involving eastern KY and southern WV should wane going into the afternoon hours, however, there may still be some localized persistence of convection with localized cell-training concerns for areas of central and western KY including areas closer to the OH River. A northward advance of some of the convection is also expected to occur over southern IL and southern IN which will need to be closely monitored. Rainfall rates with the stronger storms still lingering over western KY, and also overspreading parts of southern IL and southern IN may exceed 1 inch/hour, with some additional spotty rainfall amounts here of up to 2+ inches going through mid-afternoon. All of these additional rains will only act to prolong and exacerbate the ongoing areal flooding and flash flooding situation across this portion of the OH Valley.
