A cold front will approach the mid-state tonight and will stall across the area on Saturday. A series of surface lows will move northeastward along the boundary and add to the low level forcing that is in place. The southwesterly mid and upper-level flow will provide a moisture-rich airmass. Rainfall totals will range from 2-4 inches in the watch area with areas along the Cumberland Plateau likely receiving the highest amounts.
Turn around, don't drown
The Flood Watch continues for a portion of Middle Tennessee, including the following areas, Bedford, Cannon, Cheatham, Clay, Coffee, Cumberland, Davidson, De Kalb, Dickson, Fentress, Giles, Grundy, Hickman, Humphreys, Jackson, Lawrence, Lewis, Macon, Marshall, Maury, Overton, Perry, Pickett, Putnam, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, Van Buren, Warren, Wayne, White, Williamson, and Wilson.
A deep southwesterly flow aloft will combine with a slow-moving frontal boundary to produce heavy rainfall during the watch period. The rainfall on Saturday and Saturday night will be heavy at times. Rainfall amounts will average around 2 to 4 inches, with areas along the Cumberland Plateau seeing the greatest amounts.
