**RAIN, RAIN, and MORE RAIN**
Another 1.22" fell overnight in Cookeville giving us 11.88" for July. I'll have an incredible stat you won't want to miss in the 'Did You Know' section toward the end this post. Rain continues for Middle Tennessee today and tonight. Indications are another 2"+ could fall before this upcoming system moves out. Round one of the showers moved through overnight and round two will start for us sometime later tonight through the overnight.
Flash Flood Watches have been issued for counties in southern Middle Tennessee as well as West Tennessee for the anticipated event. Temperatures, in the Cookeville area, will struggle to reach 80° both today and Friday. The good news, however, is we'll dry out for parts of Friday night and most of Saturday before rain chances increase for Sunday.

Pretty amazing stats. I was just imagining what it would be like outside, if this had been January instead of July and all this rain was SNOW. (Maybe I shouldn't even say that!)
Holy Moly!!!
