Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms are forecast across portions of Middle Tennessee through Sunday morning, producing locally heavy rainfall across already saturated soils. Several inches of rain are possible, particularly across northwest Middle Tennessee. Confidence in flooding and flash flooding has increased in anticipation of these upcoming storms, and significant flooding could occur in areas of heaviest rainfall activity. We will see rises on area streams and rivers through the weekend. * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...A portion of Middle Tennessee, including the following counties, Cheatham, Clay, Davidson, Dickson, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Jackson, Lewis, Macon, Maury, Montgomery, Perry, Pickett, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Stewart, Sumner, Trousdale, Wayne, Williamson and Wilson. * WHEN...Through Sunday morning. * IMPACTS...Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - On top of already saturated ground, 2 to 6 inches is expected within the watch area with the highest amounts north of I-40 and west of I-65. Due to this amount of rain, major life- threatening flooding is expected to start late this afternoon and continue through Sunday morning. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
