...September 2018 has been unusually wet and stormy...

As of today, Nashville has received 6.90 inches of rain so far
this month. This makes September 2018 the 7th wettest September on
record at Nashville. The wettest September on record was in 1979
with 11.44 inches of rain, and the second wettest was in 2009 with
11.08 inches of rain.

Crossville has received a whopping 10.59 inches of rain so far
this month. This makes September 2018 the wettest September ever
at Crossville. The previous wettest September was in 1989 with
9.00 inches of rain.

In addition to the heavy rainfall, isolated strong to severe
thunderstorms affected parts of Middle Tennessee over the past
week. These storms spawned an EF0 tornado in Cannon County on
Monday September 24, and an EF1 tornado in Fentress County on
Tuesday September 25. Both of these tornadoes were the first on
record to affect each of those counties in the month of September.

Historically, September is the least likely month for tornadoes
across Middle Tennessee. In fact, prior to the two tornadoes this
week, only 9 tornadoes have been known to have touched down
during the month of September in Middle Tennessee.
