The National Weather Service in Louisville has placed Barren County in a flood watch until 1 a.m. on May 21.
“Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations,” the weather service stated. “Rounds of showers and thunderstorms containing torrential downpours are expected to impact the area this afternoon. Widespread 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is anticipated across the watch area. Some locally heavier amounts are possible.”
A watch is less severe than a warning. A watch means “the risk of a hazardous weather or hydrologic event has increased significantly, but its occurrence, location or timing is still uncertain [and] is intended to provide enough lead time so those who need to set their plans in motion can do so.
