The Louisville
Metro area has received between 1 inch and 3.15 inches of rain
since midnight. Showers and thunderstorms remain in the weather
forecast for at least the next five days.
Today’s rainfall has
saturated soils and most major and secondary streams, creeks and
drainage channels are carrying more than normal flows, with swift
currents. The possibility of additional heavy rains or prolonged
periods of showers could cause local streams to fill beyond
capacity and create the risk for flash flooding at lower
elevations.
MSD will continue to
keep both operations and maintenance crews in the field or on-call
during night time hours to monitor and maximize the performance of
the local sewer and drainage system.
Residents should be
advised against driving or walking into standing or fast-flowing
water, whether in streams, channels or viaducts.
MSD will remain on high
alert for the duration of this wet weather period. |
