PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

There is still a chance for another round of strong to severe thunderstorms later this afternoon.
However, the atmosphere has stabilized some from the heavy rain and will cause storms
to have less intensity than previously forecasted. Nonetheless a non zero tornado threat 
of 2% and 5% is listed for Kentucky. Damaging wings are the primary hazards.
