Multiple waves of heavy rain will bring 3 to 5 inches to the mid-state by Saturday night.
Areas that experienced widespread flooding Wednesday could see 2 to 3 inches of rain on Friday alone.
Folks who live in southwest portions of Middle TN, including those west of I-24 and south of I-40 need to have a plan in place now in case the need arises to evacuate to higher ground. Please don`t take this lightly.
Have somewhere to go at a moment`s notice to escape flood waters.
