14 News Chief Meteorologist Jeff Lyons says a cold front to our west will bring widespread moderate to heavy rainfall over the weekend.  Showers and a few imbedded thunderstorms will move into the Tri-State before midnight and will continue through Saturday and Sunday. 

Total rainfall of 2-3" appears likely, and this may cause some localized flooding and also prolong flooding conditions along the Wabash and Little Wabash Rivers.

A series of weather systems will push through the Tri-State over the weekend.  We'll have periods of rain by Friday evening, and will continue with showers through Sunday.  Rain amounts will range around an inch north of the Ohio River to more than 2" south of the Ohio River in Western Kentucky. 

Temperatures will hover in the 60's on Saturday and Sunday and then rise into the mid to upper 70's for much of next week.  More rain chances are on the horizon for Wednesday and Thursday.

A new app will help emergency officials in western Kentucky assess the damage after a major severe weather event. 

It's called emDART, which stands for emergency management Damage Assessment Reporting Tool. 

According to Ohio County EMA Director Charlie Shields, this allows officials to pinpoint the damage after a tornado, flood, or other similar event.
