some thunderstorms expected nearly every day. Off and on rain and

Latest forecast rainfall totals over the next 7 days range from 3
to 6 inches over northwest Middle Tennessee to over 9 inches in
southeast Middle Tennessee. These forecast rainfall amounts,
combined with the unusually wet start to the year and already
saturated ground, will likely lead to flooding along area rivers,
creeks, and streams, as well as some roadways, low lying areas,
and other poor drainage locations.

Those with interest throughout Middle Tennessee should continue
to closely monitor the potential heavy rainfall and flooding this
week.
