Updated at 1pm, Sunday, September 23, 2018

The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a Flood Warning for northeastern Woodford County in central Kentucky, southern Scott County in central Kentucky, Bourbon County in central Kentucky, Nicholas County in central Kentucky and northern Fayette County in central Kentucky until 645 PM EDT.

At 1246 PM EDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated that heavy rain had fallen over the area. The heavy rain will cause flooding. Up to three inches of rain has already fallen. The Kentucky Mesonet station 5 miles southwest of Carlisle had reported 2.81 inches of rain.

Some locations that will experience flooding include Lexington, Georgetown, Paris, Carlisle, Highlands, Midway, Millersburg, North Middletown, Spindletop Estates and Blacks Crossroads.

Though the heaviest of the rains have ended, it will take several hours for the water to recede. Please heed any road closure signs.

Stay away or be swept away. River banks and culverts can become unstable and unsafe.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring. All interested parties should take necessary precautions immediately.
