Damaging Straight-Line Wind, Tornado, and Flooding Threat This Evening thru Early Sunday Morning

We’ve already dealt with some flash flooding – along with creek/river rises so far today. This threat will continue thru Sunday as creek and rivers continue to rise with heavy rainfall expected tonight. If you come across a flooded roadway – turn around, don’t drown. If you see flooding that is threatening structures or vehicles, please send us a report using #tSpotter, with a pic and location if you can do so safely. read more

Heavy Rain Likely, Severe Storms Possible on Saturday

Headlines:

  • 2 – 4 inches of rain on Saturday could lead to flash flooding
  • Rivers/creeks may rise above flood level
  • All modes of severe weather possible Saturday evening/night
  • Winter weather a possibility mid next week

Heavy rain is still expected on Saturday, potentially lingering into early Sunday. Our rainfall totals have come down a tad due to the axis of heaviest rain inching to the NW. Regardless, we still could deal with some flooding issues. read more

Watching the Flooding & Severe Storm Potential This Weekend

Headlines:

  • A Flood Watch will be in effect from 12a Saturday to 12p Sunday
  • “A significant rainfall event is expected to bring an additional 3 to 5 inches of rain to Middle Tennessee this weekend.” – NWS Nashville
  • There is a low chance of severe weather Saturday afternoon and evening

Before we jump into our very active weekend, the rest of today and Friday should be dry.

We’ll wake up to temps in the low to mid 20s Friday morning – the coldest we’ve dealt with in a while. A jacket will certainly be needed in the morning for the bus stop. read more
