.DISCUSSION...A cold front will move into the region this evening
bringing with it strong to severe storms capable of damaging winds,
large hail, and possible tornadoes. Flooding will also be of concern as
the front eventually stalls out over central KY. Continued rainfall over
the next few days will likely result in flash flood, areal flooding, and
river flooding.
