Another rain chance Wednesday ahead of a pleasant end to the week
LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC 36 NEWS NOW) – Happy Wednesday! FINALLY, some beneficial rain for most of central and eastern Kentucky.

Rainfall amounts will be scattered from the rain later today into the evening, with most areas receiving light amounts with isolated heavier downpours possible.
