Heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms may produce localized flooding over parts of eastern Middle Tennessee tonight. Early tonight, a slow moving band of showers and isolated thunderstorms was located between Interstate 65 and the Cumberland Plateau. Doppler radar indicated that some spots received about a third of an inch of rain during the evening hours...and some areas could receive an additional one half to three quarters of an inch overnight. Localized rain totals over an inch are possible tonight...especially over the southeast...around Shelbyville, Manchester, Altamont and McMinnville. Some isolated spots further north, toward Cookeville and Gainesboro could see similar rain amounts. These rains may cause water to pond in low lying areas, especially in urban locations. If you are out driving tonight, you should avoid areas where water covers the road. If you come upon a flooded area, turn around and take an alternate route to your destination.
