National Weather Service Issues FLOOD WATCH Over Concerns about Flooding from Another Rain Event

FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING... 

 The National Weather Service in Nashville has issued a 
  • Flood Watch for a portion of Middle Tennessee, including the following areas, Bedford, Cannon, Cheatham, Clay, Coffee, Cumberland, Davidson, De Kalb, Dickson, Fentress, Giles, Grundy, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Jackson, Lawrence, Lewis, Macon, Marshall, Maury, Montgomery, Overton, Perry, Pickett, Putnam, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Stewart, Sumner, Trousdale, Van Buren, Warren, Wayne, White, Williamson, and Wilson. 
  • From Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning 
  • 2 to 4 inches of rain. 
  • Runoff from this event will likely cause rises of smaller creeks and streams, especially Wednesday evening when thunderstorms may produce flash flooding. Minor flooding may also be possible on the larger rivers into the weekend, especially on the lower reaches of the Cumberland, Duck, and Tennessee River basins.

Streams. (file photo) 

HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK:
Heavy Rainfall Expected Across Much of the Mid-South From Early Wednesday Through Thursday Afternoon.

Rainfall is expected to return to Middle Tennessee early Wednesday, falling on saturated grounds unable to absorb much more. Area creeks, streams, and rivers are running high and a number of river gauge locations are above Action Stage. Rain is expected to move out Thursday afternoon, leaving total rainfall amounts of several inches across the area.

Runoff from this event will likely cause rises of smaller creeks and streams, especially Wednesday evening when intense thunderstorms may produce flash flooding. Minor flooding may also be possible on the larger rivers into the weekend, especially on the lower reaches of the Cumberland, Duck, and Tennessee River basins. 

Model guidance indicates storm total rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches can be expected, with isolated higher amounts possible. Where the rain falls vary from Southern Kentucky and most of Tennessee to Northern Mississippi and Northern Alabama. This lack of consistency with where the rain will fall creates uncertainty with total rainfall amounts, as well as the severity of flooding.

NWS Special Weather Statement: Wintry Mix possible Sunday Night into Monday Morning

The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement:
A Period of Freezing Rain or Sleet is possible Sunday night
into early Monday...

Although most of this weekend is expected to be dry, a wintry mix,
consisting of rain, freezing rain and sleet, is forecast to
develop by Sunday evening, extending into early Monday. Any ice
accumulations are expected to be relatively light. Amounts should
average less than a tenth of an inch, with the best chance of
accumulation across the Cumberland Plateau region. It is possible
that some travel problems could develop, especially on bridges and
overpasses, before temperatures warm sufficiently to cause the
precipitation to change to all rain.

Right now, it looks like the most likely time for freezing rain
or sleet over western areas, including the Nashville Metro
area, will be Sunday night, between 6pm and midnight. After that,
temperatures west of Interstate 65 should warm enough to cause
precipitation to change to all rain. Meanwhile, folks in the Upper
Cumberland, where cold temperatures will last longer, could see
freezing rain or sleet linger into the morning commute on Monday.

Since this potential winter weather event is still 36 to 48 hours
away, the forecast is uncertain and subject to change. Listen to a
reliable source of weather information over the weekend to get
the latest forecast updates.

Weather Service Issues Wind Chill Alert Sunday Night to Monday Morning.

Expect Frigid Conditions at Outdoor New Years Eve
Celebrations...

.Cold Arctic air will pour into Middle Tennessee tonight and
persist into the New Year. Steady winds ushering in this cold air
will begin to drop wind chill values below zero New Years Eve,
with some locations approaching -5 degrees by midnight. By the
morning hours of New Years Day, most of the mid-state may see
wind chill values below -5 degrees. Another night of cold air
is expected Monday night, and thus another Wind Chill Advisory
likely will be needed.

WIND CHILL ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM SUNDAY TO 9 AM CST
MONDAY.

* WHAT...Very cold wind chills expected. The cold wind chills will
  cause frostbite in as little as 30 minutes to exposed skin.
  Expect wind chills to range from zero to 8 below zero.

* WHERE...Portions of Middle Tennessee.

* WHEN...10 PM Sunday to 9 AM Monday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Expect wind chill values to fall below zero
  as Sunday evening progresses, creating frigid conditions at any
  outdoor New Years Eve Celebrations.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Wind Chill Advisory means that cold air and the wind will
combine to create low wind chills. Frost bite and hypothermia can
occur if precautions are not taken. Make sure you wear a hat and
gloves.

Special Weather Statement from Natl. Weather Service on Extreme Cold for New Years

Special Weather Statement from the National Weather Service:
Arctic blast to impact the mid state over New Years...

An arctic cold front will move through the mid state on Saturday.
Much colder air will then spread across the area through the
weekend. Low temperatures will reach down into the teens by New
Years Eve morning and will only warm into the 20s during the day.
Then, on New years day, lows will range from 8 to 14 with highs
of 20 to 25.

Adding to the bone chilling cold will be the very low wind chill
values. Wind speeds of 10 to 15 mph will equate to wind chills in
the lower teens during the day on New Years Eve. Later that
evening...winds will persist with wind chill values dropping down
into the single digits. By sunrise, wind chills will reach as low
as 5 below zero in a few northern Middle Tennessee locations. Cold
temperatures will continue into Monday night where Middle
Tennessee will experience wind chill values of minus 5 to minus 8
degrees before sunrise.
If venturing outdoors during the holiday weekend, be sure to wear multiple layers of clothing. Consider bringing any pets indoors and check on the elderly. Also, be sure to take the necessary precautions regarding the protection of water pipes from the cold. Of additional note, if the expected low and high temperatures of 12 and 23 degrees, respectively for Nashville, occurs on New Years day, it would mark the 4th coldest New Years Day on record. The period of record extends all the way back to 1871.

National Weather Service issues statements on Tropic Storm Cindy effects.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT:
Tropical Storm Cindy to impact Middle Tennessee today through
Friday night.

Tropical Storm Cindy has made landfall on the Gulf Coast this
morning. Although it will quickly weaken as it moves further
inland, its remnants will still have a significant impact on the
weather across Middle Tennessee today through Friday night.

As the storm moves into the Lower Mississippi Valley tonight and
then across Middle Tennessee late Friday and Friday evening, look
for widespread showers and thunderstorms to spread across the
region. The prolonged exposure to copious tropical moisture will
contribute to significant rainfall amounts and possible flash
flooding, especially Friday and Friday night.

In addition to the heavy rainfall potential and flooding threat,
there is a marginal risk of severe storms across all of Middle
Tennessee today and tonight, and a marginal or slight risk of
severe storms Friday and Friday night. The primary threat
continues to be damaging straight line winds, but tropical systems
are also known to spawn weak, short-lived tornadoes.

Crossville Storm Clouds from earlier this month


HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK:

DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

The remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy are expected to produce
significant rainfall amounts across Middle Tennessee beginning
today. Flooding impacts today and tonight will be minimal, and
restricted mainly to ponding of water on roads during heavy
downpours. In addition, there is a marginal risk of severe storms
across the entire mid state, with damaging straight line winds the
primary threat.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Rainfall amounts will intensify on Friday and Friday night as the
storm center moves directly across Middle Tennessee. Two day
rainfall amounts will average 2 to 4 inches, with most of this
occurring Friday and Friday evening. There is also a marginal or
slight risk of severe storms, with damaging straight line winds
once again the primary threat. However, it is important to
remember that tropical systems are known to produce weak, short-
lived tornadoes.
