Flash Flood Watch until 06:00AM Thursday
The National Weather Service in Paducah has issued a
* Flash Flood Watch for all of southern Illinois, southwest Indiana, western Kentucky, and southeast Missouri.
* From Wednesday morning through late Wednesday night
* Moderate to heavy rain will return to the area on Wednesday. The most likely area to see heavy rain is west Kentucky and southwest Indiana. However, most areas can expect 1 to 2 inches of rain.
* The ground is saturated so almost all of the rain will quickly run off into streams and rivers. Water will continue to collect in low lying areas and will likely spread into areas that are not normally prone to flooding. Low water crossings should be avoided during this time.
