From the earlier issued Flash Flood Watch:
“Tropical Depression Harvey will move towards the mid state, and will drop 4 to 8 inches of rainfall across the watch area,” the NWS warns. “The highest amounts will be mainly north of I-40 and west of I-65, although periods of heavy rainfall will be possible further eastward, along with the potential for flash flooding. Rainfall across the area may also lead to rises on rivers and lakes on Friday and into the weekend.”
The watch is in effect through 7 p.m. Friday, and it includes the counties: Cheatham, Clay, Davidson, Dickson, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Jackson, Macon, Montgomery, Perry, Robertson, Smith, Stewart, Sumner, Trousdale, Williamson, and Wilson.

“Low-lying and flood prone locations in both urban and rural
areas will be most impacted by heavy rainfall,” the NWS states. “Sharp rises in creeks and rivers may occur. Please do not attempt to cross water of any depth. Remember, Turn Around, Don`t Drown.”
