Confidence is high in a rainy Halloween across southern Indiana and at least north central Kentucky. Rain is expected to continue as waves of deep moisture from the Gulf of America ride along a stalled frontal boundary across our region. Rain is expected to be steady and widespread by evening; however, the heaviest rain is expected at times Wednesday night through Thursday. The image below depicts the steady stream of moisture that will ride up into the Ohio River Valley along a stalled frontal boundary.

2 to 4 inches of rain are forecast across southern Indiana and northern Kentucky, with 1 to 2" generally forecast across the rest of southern Kentucky through late Thursday.

A Flood Watch is in effect across southern Indiana, western Kentucky, and northern Kentucky through late Thursday night.

The Weather Prediction Center has put a good portion of our region in a Slight Risk for Excessive Rainfall. In addition, some area rivers may begin to experience minor flood concerns.
