...Widespread Flooding May Occur This Weekend...

.While another round of showers is expected as the evening hours
progress tonight, a strong low pressure system will sweep through
the mid state Saturday and Saturday night, with additional heavy
rainfall expected. Storm total amounts through Saturday night
will range from around 1 inch across the Cumberland Plateau, to
around 2 inches in the Clarksville and Dover areas. This will
fall on ground that is largely saturated, and will drain into
streams and rivers that are already running high from previous
heavy rainfall. Therefore, localized flash flooding and river
flooding are possible during and after this next heavy rain
event.
