The Cumberland River in Davidson County is under a continued Flood Advisory. With heavy rain this morning, the water levels rose again to flood the steps and concrete. This is a look at the flooding downtown (near Nissan Stadium).
We could see a few breaks in the rain late afternoon to early evening, but it will come back later tonight. The heaviest rain will remain in our southern counties (near the Alabama state line) for the most part. Flooding is the greatest threat but strong storms are possible, as well. The time frame of the heaviest rain should be from around 7:00 P.M. tonight until 7:00 A.M. tomorrow.
Here’s the timeline:
Spotty rain showers will carry into Thursday afternoon before drying out late. Between the next two days, our rainfall totals will be anywhere from 1 to 4 inches. Areas in southern Middle Tennessee (south of I-40) will see the most rainfall. Some localized flooding could reach up to 6 inches in some spots!
Despite todays’ rain, we’ll be pretty mild in the temperature department. Low to mid 60s for highs across the board today, with cooler temps toward the eastern counties. Everyone will be around average or above for today.
Here’s a look at today’s highs:
Friday through the weekend will be bright & sunny but cooler. Milder weather’s expected Sunday. Saturday and Sunday mornings will be frosty with a light freeze in some areas, too, as our overnight lows drop to near freezing.
