Hydrologic Outlook Alert: ...SEVERAL DAYS OF RAIN MAY LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE... AN UPPER TROUGH POSITIONED ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY WILL SLOWLY SHIFT WESTWARD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. ON THE EAST SIDE OF THIS TROUGH...WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO LOCALIZED HEAVY SHOWERS WILL MOVE THROUGH MIDDLE TENNESSEE...LEADING TO SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MOST LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY SEE 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN BY MONDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...SOME LOCATIONS EAST OF INTERSTATE 65...ESPECIALLY THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU REGION...MAY SEE AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 5 INCHES. SINCE THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO FALL GRADUALLY OVER SEVERAL DAYS...FLASH FLOODING IS NOT ANTICIPATED...BUT THE RUN-OFF FROM THESE SHOWERS WILL LEAD TO RISES IN THE LARGER CREEKS AND STREAMS. PEOPLE ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS FOR POSSIBLE FLOODING. THOSE WITH INTERESTS ALONG AREA WATERWAYS SHOULD PREPARE NOW FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF RISING WATER LEVELS THIS WEEKEND. NOW IS THE TIME TO PREPARE A PLAN OF ACTION
