Heavy Rains Return


FLASH FLOOD WATCH:
Up to 4" of rain is possible across Middle Tennessee today and tonight as a stalled front with a couple of upper level disturbances will interact with abundant moisture. 1 to 2" of rain will be common across Middle Tennessee with some locations receiving up to 4".
