Flood Watch
Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms are forecast across
portions of Middle Tennessee through Sunday morning, producing
locally heavy rainfall across already saturated soils. Several
inches of rain are possible, particularly across northwest Middle
Tennessee. Confidence in flooding and flash flooding has increased
in anticipation of these upcoming storms, and significant flooding
could occur in areas of heaviest rainfall activity. We will see
rises on area streams and rivers through the weekend.

possible.
* WHERE…A portion of Middle Tennessee, including the following
counties, Bedford, Cannon, Coffee, Giles, Lawrence and Marshall.
* WHEN…Through Sunday morning.
* IMPACTS…Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
Low-water crossings may be flooded. Storm drains and ditches may
become clogged with debris. Extensive street flooding and flooding
of creeks and rivers are possible. Area creeks and streams are
running high and could flood with more heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– On top of already saturated ground, 2 to 6 inches is expected
within the watch area with the highest amounts north of I-40
and west of I-65. Due to this amount of rain, major life-
threatening flooding is expected to start late this afternoon
and continue through Sunday morning.
