Nashville, TN – A Flood Watch remains in effect for a significant portion of Middle Tennessee, with excessive rainfall expected from Wednesday evening through Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service. The watch covers several counties, including Davidson, Williamson, Montgomery, Rutherford, and many others.
The primary concern is the possibility of flooding due to heavy rainfall from multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms. As the region’s already saturated soils may struggle to absorb the rainfall, local rivers, creeks, and streams could overflow, particularly in flood-prone areas. Rising water levels could affect roadways and low-lying properties.
The National Weather Service warns residents to stay alert and monitor local forecasts for updates, especially those living near rivers and streams. The watch, which includes cities such as Nashville, Clarksville, and Murfreesboro, urges preparedness in case the situation escalates into more severe flooding conditions.
With a long period of rainfall expected, Middle Tennesseans should take steps to ensure safety, such as avoiding flood-prone areas and having an emergency plan ready. Further details and flood safety tips can be found at weather.gov/safety/flood.
