After the first wave of storms worked its way through the area Wednesday evening and overnight, more chances for severe weather remain in the forecast the rest of the week.

“We’re just going to have wave after wave of showers and storms, and some could come down pretty heavily at times,” said Meteorologist Ron Steve with the National Weather Service in Louisville. “Really, the first wave was Wednesday evening and you could be looking at multiple waves going all the way through Saturday or even Sunday.”

Although the current forecast shows the chances of severe storm damage are reduced, continuous heavy rainfall means an enhanced risk for flash flooding.

“We’re looking at historical amounts of rain, not just a major rain event, but historical amounts of rain that I would say if we were comparing something it’d be back to 1997 when we had so much rain at one time, but this is going be over a duration of three or four days-span of rain coming in and out of the area,” said Hardin County Emergency Management Director Joey Scott.

Make sure your phone is subscribed to emergency messages, and stay tuned to media such as Quicksie and The Wolf for alerts. Never attempt to cross a flooded roadway. “Turn around, don’t drown.”
