Periods of rain will continue through Thursday night, with a round of intense rain showers expected Wednesday afternoon and evening. Runoff from this rain will cause area creeks and streams to rise and remain high Thursday and Friday, with larger rivers rising on Friday and Saturday. The larger rivers in Middle Tennessee could see water levels reach Action Stage, with some locations possibly reaching Flood Stage.
