Additional flooding problems are possible for Leslie, Perry, Knott, Letcher, Pike, Martin, Johnson, and Floyd Counties this afternoon. The Flash Flood Warning for Fleming County has been cancelled as flood waters are beginning to recede.

More widespread showers and storms coming our way Thursday and Friday.
