It’s been raining most of the day along and N of I-40. Rainfall through 3 PM:
More rain is on the way.
A Flood Watch goes into effect tonight through noon Tuesday for Nashville, but not Will Co.
A flash flood watch is in effect from 3 PM through late evening for Davidson County. Williamson is excluded from this watch.
From NWS Nashville:
Up to 1 inch of additional rainfall will fall in areas that already have saturated ground conditions from yesterday`s heavy rainfall. Street flooding will be a big hazard for travelers. Low lying areas and poor drainage areas will be at risk for flash flooding. Also watch for flooding along small streams.A wind advisory is in effect from 10 AM until 7 PM tonight for both counties. As a cold front approaches today, we’ll have sustained winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to around 40 mph. After rainfall begins, winds will begin to decrease.
For the first half of this forecast, you will once again read the words “rain,” “muggy,” and “warm” (“thunderstorm” is also now in there, more details on that risk below!). However, bear with me for just a little bit, because we will finally have some upcoming changes in the weather at the very end of the week!
Not much in the way of sunshine is expected as we are looking at the potential for cloud cover throughout today. Rain chances will be associated with this cloud cover; isolated showers and perhaps a few rumbles of thunder will be possible, with a greater chance of rain during the overnight hours. High temperatures could reach into the 70s today across most of our area, along with dewpoints hanging out in the 50s to lower 60s.
