Wider weather episode

As a couple of cold fronts moved through the Lower Ohio Valley, widespread rainfall fell across north central Kentucky. This resulted in ponding water on city streets in Louisville and Lexington. Several people stalled vehicles as they drove into the water, and some streets were closed due to the high water. One place in Spencer County had water over a roadway.
