Tennesseans understand that in early Spring the rains will bring. And this year, as March approaches, there are worries of flooding as 2 systems move through beginning Monday Evening through Friday Morning. There is a chance of strong storms on Tuesday we will also be monitoring.
Already saturated soils from recent storms and full rivers and creeks from runoffs are sure to cause, at the very least, flooding in areas prone to it. Here is the current outlook from The National Weather Service in Nashville. And remember to stay weather aware by bookmarking the weather page for your area with Live weather radar and updates.
