Hydrologic Outlook issued February 12 at 3:57PM EST by NWS Louisville KY

ESFLMK A system will arrive this weekend, with another 2.5 to 4.5 inches of rain in the forecast. Central and southern KY are currently expected to see the higher totals out of this wave as well. Overall, total rainfall amounts through Sunday could range between 2 and 3 inches across southern Indiana and north central KY, and 3-5 inches in southern Kentucky. With already saturated soils, and area rivers and streams continuing to run high, this rain will make areal flood and river flood threats increase as we move through the week. The river basins that stand the biggest threat of widespread minor flooding, and higher impacts, would be the Green, Rough, Rolling Fork, Cumberland, Kentucky, and Licking. The Ohio River will also see notable rises with added rainfall and contributions from tributaries. All of these streams will be subject to minor flooding, and there's about a 30-50% chance of some spots reaching moderate flooding on the Kentucky River. A moderate risk of excessive rainfall has been outlooked for much of central and southern KY by the Weather Prediction Center. Stay up to date of the latest forecasts during this active and impactful stretch of weather.

Hydrologic Outlook issued February 12 at 12:32PM CST by NWS Chicago IL

ESFLOT Favorable conditions for river ice development and possible ice jams are expected beginning Friday and continuing into the weekend, impacting the Rock, Fox, Des Plaines, and Kankakee river basins. Very cold temperatures, favorable for rapid formation of river ice on most areas rivers, are expected Thursday through Friday and again early next week. The formation of heavy river ice cover means that ice jams will be possible in isolated areas, especially along the Rock, Fox, Des Plaines, and Kankakee rivers. Ice jams may cause rises and fluctuations on area rivers with little warning. This outlook means that elevated water levels and potential impacts are possible, but not yet certain. Persons with interests along area rivers should closely monitor the latest forecasts. This product will be updated by tomorrow afternoon.
