Areas of Severe Thunderstorms and Excessive Rainfall Today

Scattered severe thunderstorms capable of damaging wind gusts and some hail are expected this afternoon and evening from the Upper Ohio River Valley into the Northeast, and from the Appalachians into the Mid-Atlantic States. Excessive rainfall from heavy thunderstorms may produce areas of flash flooding from southern New Mexico into the western and northern Gulf Coast into Wednesday. Read More >

NWS Louisville delivered two Turn Around Don't Drown (TADD) road signs to Madison County, KY officials this past Tuesday (8/1/23). These signs will be posted at the junction of Four Mile Road and Hunter Lane where Otter Creek frequently overflows during heavy rains causing portions of these roads to flood. In 2019, a swift water rescue had to be done to save people that had driven into the flood waters at this location. Hopefully with added TADD signs along this frequently flooded roadway, people driving through the area will play it safe when they see flood waters and remember to "Turn Around Don't Drown!"
