Weather Alerts For Ravenna, KY

# HEADLINE -------------------- FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM EDT THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING # DETAILS -------------------- WHAT Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. WHERE Portions of east central, northeast, south central, and southeast Kentucky, including the following counties, in east central Kentucky, Bath, Elliott, Estill, Fleming, Menifee, Montgomery, Powell and Rowan. In northeast Kentucky, Johnson and Martin. In south central Kentucky, Laurel, Rockcastle and Whitley. In southeast Kentucky, Bell, Breathitt, Clay, Floyd, Harlan, Jackson, Knott, Knox, Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Magoffin, Morgan, Owsley, Perry, Pike and Wolfe. WHEN From 6 AM EDT this morning through this evening. IMPACTS Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. ADDITIONAL DETAILS - Excessive rains of the past week have left a good portion of the area primed for high water issues should we see training thunderstorms today and this evening. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected to affect the area through the evening leading to a potential for flash flooding considering the soaked grounds in certain parts of eastern Kentucky. Confidence in any location seeing flooding is low, though, given the tough to predict nature of training storms. As a result caution and awareness is urged today and this evening. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood ISSUED AT Monday, June 22, 2026 at 3:00 AM EDT ISSUED BY National Weather Service Jackson KY HEADER URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED | Flood Watch # PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS -------------------- You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued. # AREAS AFFECTED -------------------- Jackson, Letcher, Wolfe, Bath, Bell, Breathitt, Clay, Elliott, Estill, Fleming, Floyd, Harlan, Johnson, Knott, Knox, Laurel, Lee, Leslie, Magoffin, Martin, Menifee, Montgomery, Morgan, Owsley, Perry, Pike, Powell, Rockcastle, Rowan, Whitley Including the cities of London, Brodhead, Morehead, Pikeville, Pineville, Flemingsburg, Frenchburg, Manchester, Paintsville, Williamsburg, Stanton, Salyersville, Elkhorn City, Mount Vernon, Sandy Hook, Hyden, Cumberland, Camargo, Pippa Passes, Middlesboro, Wheelwright, Prestonsburg, South Williamson, West Liberty, Mount Sterling, Whitesburg, Coal Run, Barbourville, Inez, Corbin, Hazard, McKee, Ravenna, Hindman, Booneville, Harlan, Jeffersonville, Owingsville, Clay City, Annville, Campton, Jenkins, Beattyville, Irvine, and Jackson

There is a Slight Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTHWEST KS INTO NORTH-CENTRAL OK SUMMARY Tornadoes (possibly strong) and damaging winds remain possible this evening into parts of the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. A swath of severe gusts (possibly greater than 75 mph) appears possible later tonight from southwest Kansas into central Oklahoma. Mid MS Valley into the Ohio Valley An MCV moving across IN will eventually encounter weaker low-level moisture and instability with eastward extent. However, a long-lived storm cluster may continue eastward toward parts of southwest OH and eastern KY, before a definitive weakening trend occurs. Damaging wind and embedded tornadoes will remain possible with the primary storm cluster until weakening occurs. Semi-discrete cells and small clusters trailing the MCV will also continue to pose a threat of tornadoes (possibly strong) and damaging winds through the evening, within a moist and favorably sheared environment. See MCD 1237 for more information. Central High Plains into OK and southern MO Widely scattered storm development is underway near a surface boundary draped from northwest OK into southeast KS/southwest MO. While large-scale forcing is generally modest at best, MLCAPE of 2500-4000 J/kg and effective shear of 40+ kt are conditionally quite favorable for organized storms. A few supercells may persist along the front through the evening, with a threat of large to very large hail and localized severe gusts. Also, while low-level flow is weak, vorticity and backed surface winds near the boundary could support some tornado potential, if a robust supercell can become established. Farther northwest, a supercell cluster is ongoing across western KS this evening. This cluster will continue to pose a threat of large to very large hail, severe gusts, and possibly a tornado through the evening. See MCD 1239 for more information regarding the short-term threat. Short-term guidance (notably the HRRR and RRFS) suggests that this cluster will continue to grow upscale, and potentially evolve into an MCS that will move southeastward across southwest KS into northwest and central OK, with threat of severe gusts (potentially above 75 mph) through the overnight hours. This evolution appears plausible, if evening convection across northwest OK is not too disruptive to the environment. Given the very favorable midlevel lapse rates on the 00Z DDC and OUN soundings, rich moisture, and strong instability and deep-layer shear, a 30%/CIG1 wind area was added from southwest KS into central OK.
