* Flood Watch for a portion of Middle Tennessee, including the
  following areas, Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Hickman,
  Houston, Humphreys, Lewis, Maury, Montgomery, Perry,
  Robertson, Stewart, Sumner, and Williamson.

* From Wednesday afternoon through late Saturday night

  going to be on the rise starting Wednesday night. Those who
  experienced flooding this past week and are in this Flood Watch
  need to pay special attention to rainfall accumulations as
  flooding is expected to return to those locations.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
