FLOOD WATCH
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
321 AM CDT TUE OCT 14 2014

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL TUESDAY AFTERNOON FOR EASTERN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE, INCLUDING THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU...

.PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS
HAVE CAUSED THE GROUND TO BECOME NEARLY SATURATED FOR MANY
LOCATIONS IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL TONIGHT OF 2 TO
3 INCHES WITH SOME LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS CAN BE EXPECTED. 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 OVERNIGHT WHEN IT IS DIFFICULT TO JUDGE THE DEPTH OF WATER.
THE HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF ON TUESDAY.
