Thursday Evening Update: A Flash Flood WATCH has been issued and includes all of Western Kentucky, NW Tennessee, MO Bootheel, and the Ohio River counties in Southern IL. The heaviest rain is expected to start moving in very late Thursday night and during the day on Friday. Highest rainfall totals are still expected to sit along the Ohio River counties back into the Bootheel. The specific placement of the highest rainfall may shift northward or southward depending on exact path of low pressure moving across our area and how fast the cold front to our north will advance tomorrow. Wednesday Evening Update: The remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy will begin to quickly impact the Local 6 area starting Thursday morning across the south half of the area then spreading northward. While we may see some periods of gusty winds, even a quick, short-lived tornadic spin-up, but the overwhelming threat to the entire are will be very heavy rain and flash flooding from Thursday into Friday
