Rain Expected to be “Manageable” Throughout the Week

Posted on by Elan

We’ve received a little rain today, not much, but there’s more to come.

  • 2 – 3″ of rain is expected thru Saturday
  • majority of the rain will fall Wednesday
  • we are excluded from the Flood Watch (heaviest rain expected to stay to our south)
  • “Areas north of the Flood Watch could see nuisance flooding issues, but the total rainfall amounts over that area are expected to be manageable…” – NWS Nashville
  • no severe weather expected, some thunder possible

Timing:

We should remain dry thru the rest of today, maybe a scattered shower or two.

If you must get out, please, take it slow, leave plenty of room, and *clean the snow off the top of your car*. Snow on top of vehicles can become aerodynamic ice missiles, and you do not want that flying thru a windshield. read more
