Kentucky is battling the combined effects of historic flooding, a significant snowstorm and dangerously low temperatures.

Much of the commonwealth remains under flood watches or warnings Sunday morning after some areas received more than 6 inches of rain within a 48-hour period.

The death toll from last week ’ s severe weather in Kentucky has risen to 21, Gov. Andy Beshear announced Saturday. The state was hit with deadly flooding amid freezing temperatures last weekend, which continued to devastate the central Plains as another storm system brought more heavy snow and wind.
