Gov. Andy Beshear said he’s alerting swift-water rescue teams and national guard helicopters in preparation for the storm.

We want everyone to be careful,” Gov. Beshear said. “The amount of rain coming down will make it hard to drive, and flash flooding, especially across our roads, can create dangerous conditions."

A flood watch issued by the National Weather Service has been expanded as a system that could bring up to 6 inches of rain in some area moves into the region.
