...SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TODAY IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE...

SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS
MOST OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE TODAY...WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THE
RAIN WILL BE THE RESULT OF A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING
SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS THE MID STATE DURING THE DAY.

AS OF 1000 AM CDT TODAY...THE BAND OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL EXTENDED
FROM NEAR WAYNESBORO AND LAWRENCEBURG...NORTHEASTWARD TO
FRANKLIN...NASHVILLE...MOUNT JULIET...GALLATIN AND PORTLAND. MANY
AREAS IN THAT BAND HAVE RECEIVED BETWEEN ONE AND A HALF AND TWO
AND A HALF INCHES OF RAIN...WITH SOME ISOLATED AMOUNTS BETWEEN
THREE AND THREE AND A HALF INCHES. THIS BAND OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL
IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT EASTWARD TO THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU LATE TODAY
AND THIS EVENING...AS RAIN TAPERS OFF OVER WESTERN PARTS OF THE MID
STATE.

SOME MINOR STREET FLOODING AND ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING MAY OCCUR
IN THE HEAVIEST DOWNPOURS...ESPECIALLY IN LOW LYING AND POORLY
DRAINED LOCATIONS. URBAN AREAS...SUCH AS NASHVILLE...WILL BE
ESPECIALLY PRONE TO STREET FLOODING WHEN HEAVY RAINS FALL. SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS WILL ALSO BE ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE TO SUDDEN
RISES IN WATER LEVELS TODAY.
