A Flood Watch continues for Davidson County until noon today. We’ve had quite a bit of heavy rainfall this morning, but not as much as the models thought. Totals should settle in around 1.25″ or so; models predicted 1.5″ to 2″. Although some area creeks, streams, and rivers rose to action stage, none are expected to rise to minor flood stage, which is a relief.

If you stepped outside early this morning, this may have been your reaction:
Old Man Winter is back. We are only going to reach a high of 37º this afternoon with plenty of sun. A north-northwest wind around 10 mph is making it feel sub-freezing.
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.
Temps remaining mild through the rest of the day until tonight when temps drop down in the low to mid 50s. Rain chances including a few isolated showers persist overnight as clouds continue to cover the Middle Tennessee region.
