...Heavy Rains to Return to Middle TN Wednesday...

.Rainfall is expected to return to Middle Tennessee early
Wednesday, falling on saturated grounds unable to absorb much
more. Area creeks, streams, and rivers are already running high
and a number of river gauge locations are above Action Stage. Rain
is expected to move out Thursday afternoon, but not before leaving
behind 2 to 4 inches of rainfall. At this time, it looks like the
best chances for the higher totals will be south of I-40, closer
to the Alabama state line, however the exact position of these
heavier rains could change with future guidance.
