Gov. Beshear declares state of emergency ahead of heavy rain From Crystal Staley/James Hatchett Frankfort, KY - On February 14, 2025, Gov. Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency as a flood watch is in effect for early Saturday, February 15, through midday Sunday, February 16, 2025. Another 2 to 5 inches of rainfall is expected, and, combined with previous rainfall over the past several days, will likely result in flooding across the state. Significant flooding is possible, including widespread areal, river and isolated flash flooding. According to the National Weather Service, river flooding is very likely this weekend through next week. Significant flooding is expected where the heaviest rain falls. "We want everyone to be careful," Gov. Beshear said. "The amount of rain coming down will make it hard to drive, and flash flooding, especially across our roads, can create dangerous conditions. And remember, don't drive through standing water, it can have a current, and it is incredibly dangerous."
