...Heavy Rain and Flooding Possible Tonight into Early Sunday...

.A strong low pressure system will move through Middle Tennessee
tonight, with additional heavy rainfall and strong storms expected.
Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected
overnight. This will fall on ground that is pretty saturated, and
will drain into streams and rivers that are already running high
due to previous heavy rainfall. Therefore, localized flash
flooding and river flooding are possible during and after this
heavy rain event.
