Flood Watch Issued for Cumberland Co Saturday Morning through Sunday Afternoon

FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

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.

NOAA Special Weather Statement for 3-25-17 Rain could cause localized flooding.

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.
