GLASGOW, Ky. — A Flash Flood Warning is in effect for eight counties across south central Kentucky until 8:45 AM CDT Sunday, June 28, 2026, as heavy rainfall is rapidly flooding roads and pushing streams toward dangerous levels across the region.
Adair, Green, Metcalfe, Hart, Barren, Russell, Clinton, and Cumberland Counties are all included under the active warning, covering major communities including Glasgow, Columbia, Munfordville, Greensburg, Summer Shade, Burkesville, and Tompkinsville.
Radar Showing Dangerous Rainfall Corridor
Early morning radar at 6:50 AM revealed a large, well-organized area of intense precipitation draped across the warned counties, with the most dangerous cores concentrated in deep reds and oranges near Munfordville, Glasgow, and the Columbia corridor along Highway 68. Lightning is also actively firing near Munfordville and Rocky Hill, adding a second hazard on top of the flooding threat.
Areas further east including Burkesville, Cumberland City, and Powersburg are also receiving significant rainfall, meaning the flash flood danger extends across the full width of the warned zone — not just a single isolated corridor.
Drivers Warned: Do Not Attempt to Cross Flooded Roads
Drivers on Interstate 65 near Munfordville and along Highway 68 through the Columbia area are being urged to exercise extreme caution. Flooding can develop rapidly during active rainfall, and even a few inches of moving water can sweep a vehicle off the road. Deeper floodwaters can prove instantly fatal.
Emergency officials are issuing a clear message: turn around, don’t drown.
Residents in Low-Lying Areas Must Act Now
Anyone living near streams, creeks, or low-lying areas within the eight warned counties should move to higher ground immediately. Officials are warning residents not to wait for conditions to worsen before taking action.
The Flash Flood Warning remains in effect until 8:45 AM CDT. Conditions can change rapidly — residents are urged to stay off roads and monitor local emergency alerts closely.
