FLOOD WATCH
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
345 AM CDT MON OCT 13 2014

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH TONIGHT UNTIL TUESDAY AFTERNOON FOR ALL OF
MIDDLE TENNESSEE...

.PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS
HAVE CAUSED THE GROUND TO BECOME NEARLY SATURATED FOR MANY
LOCATIONS IN MID TENNESSEE. MORE RAIN IS ON THE WAY AS A POWERFUL
STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BRING A BAND OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS INTO MID TENNESSEE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE EXPECTED...AND SOME LOCALLY
HEAVY AMOUNTS CANNOT BE RULED OUT. THIS HEAVY RAINFALL IN A
RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD WILL LIKELY CAUSE SOME FLASH FLOODING.
THIS SITUATION IS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN BECAUSE WATER LEVELS MAY
RISE RAPIDLY...AND MUCH OF THE RAIN WILL FALL AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS
DIFFICULT TO JUDGE THE DEPTH OF WATER. THE HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED
TO TAPER OFF BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
