Due to a forecast of severe storms and significant flooding expected in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky this weekend, Keeneland has announced it is rescheduling the first two days of its Spring Meet to ensure the safest environment for horses, participants and fans.

The decision was made following Gov. Andy Beshear’s declaration earlier today of a state of emergency ahead of potentially historic amounts of rain and strong winds across the state during the next four days.

NOAA has been warning for several days about the “historic” weather event starting today. The main feature will be massive amounts of rain over several days. However, other nasty weather, including tornadoes, will also be in the mix.

The screenshot text is from NOAA’s forecast discussion for the area that covers parts of TN, AR and MO. That area is labeled MEG on the map

To read the full forecast discussion for any area, open the map, click/tap inside any of the large red-outlined areas and then follow the link.

The yellow area on the map is NOAA’s estimate for where the most rain will fall over the next 5 days. NOAA has posted a flood watch for this area which says in part:

“Historically high forecast rainfall amounts will create a particularly dangerous situation with respect to the risk of flash flooding and flooding Wednesday through Sunday.”

When the map opens the layer with NOAA’s forecast discussion is on top and can be clicked. The text screenshot is a snip from the forecast discussion for part of the area where the most rain is expected.

The map has a lot of weather related #GIS layers that you can turn on/off/restack. The ‘Map tips” link on the upper left corner of the map will show you how.
