NOW YOUR WLKY WEATHER WITH METEOROLOGIST ERIC ZERNICH. IT HAS BEEN A VERY ACTIVE EVENING SO FAR WITH STRONG SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ROLLING THROUGH THE AREA AND THEN THAT HEAVY RAIN LEADING TO PONDING ON THE ROADWAYS. BUT WE’RE NOT DONE WITH THE WORST OF THE WEATHER YET. AS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH CONTINUES FOR EVERYONE IN THE YELLOW, WHICH DOES INCLUDE JEFFERSON COUNTY AND METRO LOUISVILLE UNTIL 4 A.M. AS WE’RE STILL EXPECTING ROUND TWO OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE IN LATER ON THIS EVENING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SO WE STILL GOT A FEW MORE HOURS TO GO BEFORE WE FINALLY GET ALL THIS WEATHER OUT OF HERE. BUT EARLIER THIS EVENING, YOU CAN SEE WE HAD THESE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ROLL THROUGH THE AREA, PRODUCING AT TIMES SOME VERY GUSTY WINDS, 50 TO 60MPH. YOU CAN SEE THE NUMEROUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS THAT WE DID HAVE. THOSE ARE THE ORANGE BOXES THAT SHOWED UP. EVEN HAD SOME LARGE HAIL ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN INDIANA, AND THEN DID BRIEFLY GET A TORNADO WARNING OUT TOWARDS OLDHAM COUNTY, HENRY AND SHELBY COUNTY. BUT NOTHING CAME OF THAT, THANKFULLY. BUT WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS REPORTS OF TREES AND POWER LINES DOWN DUE TO THE GUSTY WINDS AND THEN DUE TO THE HEAVY FLOODING THAT JUST RAINED ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN INDIANA AND THE METRO, WE’RE NOW GETTING REPORTS OF WATER RESCUES ACROSS THE REGION. BUT LET’S ZOOM IN AND YOU CAN SEE WE’RE STILL DEALING WITH SCATTERED MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN ACROSS PORTIONS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, INCLUDING THE DOWNTOWN. LOOKING TO GET ANOTHER GOOD BATCH OF SOME RAIN MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. AND SO WITH ALL OF THIS, IT HAS LED TO THOSE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS THAT CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF, TWO HOURS UNTIL 1230, ESPECIALLY THIS INNER BOX THAT IS A FLASH FLOOD WARNING BECAUSE OF ALL THOSE WATER RESCUES THAT HAD TO BE MADE ACROSS PORTIONS OF DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE AND OUT TOWARDS THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN. THESE CONTINUE UNTIL 1230 THIS MORNING, EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. SO IF YOU REALLY DON’T HAVE TO BE OUT ON THE ROADS, JUST CONTINUE TO STAY HOME AS THEY ARE PRETTY TREACHEROUS DUE TO ALL THE HEAVY RAIN THAT WE’VE GOTTEN. LOOK AT SOME OF THE REPORTS AS FAR AS RAINFALL TOTALS, WE’VE EASILY SEEN ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 3IN OF RADAR. ESTIMATED RAINFALL ACROSS THE ENTIRE JEFFERSON COUNTY, WITH SOME SPOTS EVEN HIGHER THAN THAT. AND THERE’S MORE RAIN TO COME. BUT LOOK AT SOME OF THESE TOTALS AS YOU GET ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA, ESPECIALLY OUT TOWARDS SALEM, UP TOWARDS THE MITCHELL AND BEDFORD AREA, ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT 4 TO 5, EVEN UP TO SIX INCHES OF RAIN. SO THEY TOO ARE DEALING WITH THOSE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS THAT CONTINUE WITH MORE RAIN CONTINUING TO FALL ACROSS THE AREA. AND AGAIN, WE ARE NOT DONE. WE’RE STILL WAITING. THIS LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAS BEEN PRODUCING NUMEROUS WARNINGS ALONG IT, ALONG WITH SOME TORNADOES. SO WE’LL HAVE TO KEEP OUR GUARD UP AS THAT MOVES THROUGH, BUT IT HOPEFULLY WILL WEAKEN SOME AS WE MOVE DEEPER INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SO LET’S TIME IT OUT FOR YOU AND KIND OF SHOW YOU WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT. STILL DEALING WITH SCATTERED ACTIVITY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. BUT IT’S THAT MAIN LINE THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE WAITING FOR, EXPECTED TO GET INTO OUR SOUTHERN INDIANA COMMUNITIES. AROUND 1:00. WE’LL START TO MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH THE METRO AS WE GET TOWARDS 130, 2:00 BY THREE, PUSHING OFF TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. SO AREAS CLOSER TO THE PARKWAY STILL COULD GET SOME GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE LEADING EDGE, 60 TO 70MPH. VERY HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS. SO IT’S GOING TO COME IN WITH A BIG PUNCH, BUT SHOULD BE OUT OF HERE BY FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING. SO WE SHOULD BE DRY. JUST GOING TO HAVE SOME VERY WET ROADWAYS FOR THAT MORNING COMMUTE. SO AS WE GO THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, YOU CAN SEE STILL HAVE THAT IMPACT WEATHER HERE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS, BUT SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP AS WE GET DEEPER INTO THE NIGHT. TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE HOLDING STEADY IN THE MID 60S. SHOULD GET SOME SUNSHINE IN HERE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF TOMORROW. SO WE’LL BE GOING WITH THAT THROUGH THE REST OF THIS EVENING. BUT AGAIN, WE STILL HAVE THAT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH THAT CONTINUES UNTIL WE GET TOWARDS 4 A.M. SO WE’LL CONTINUE TO BE WATCHING THOSE STORMS AS THEY CONTINUE TO KIND OF PUSH THEIR WAY INTO THE AREA. SO WE’LL BE DEALING WITH THIS. AND THEN AS WE GET INTO TOMORROW, WE’RE DRY TEMPERATURES UP TO 80 BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS LOOKS TO GET IN HERE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. WE SHOULD CLEAR THAT UP WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, GET SOME SUNSHINE IN HERE. SO LOOKING GOOD FOR THE STEAMBOAT RACE WEDNESDAY EVENING. AND THEN AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THURBY OAKS AND DERBY, IT DOES LOOK LIKE DRIER BUT COOLER CONDITIONS WILL BE MOVING IN. TEMPERATURES GOING TO BE IN THE LOW 60S FOR THURBY AND OAKS, AND MIGHT ONLY BE IN THE UPPER 50S, BUT WE SHOULD BE DRY FOR DERBY. SO JUST KIND OF KEEP THAT IN MIND AS YOU
