Another round of rain coming

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Cannon County from Thursday night through Saturday evening.

Another storm system will bring waves of heavy rain across Middle Tennessee starting tonight and continuing through Saturday night.

An additional 2-4 inches of rain with locally higher amounts are expected through Saturday night. Due to the recent excessive rain, soils are saturated and area rivers and creeks are full.

Additional heavy rainfall will quickly cause flash flooding.

Street flooding will be a hazard for travelers. Low-lying and poor drainage areas will be at risk for flash flooding, as well as creeks and streams.
