Flash flood warnings were issued for over 20 counties, with some areas receiving up to 5 inches of rain, further complicating travel and safety. In addition to Kentucky, Brown County, Indiana, has also declared school closures and a travel watch due to flooding and road damage, with forecasts indicating continued adverse weather.
