More Rain, More Showers, More Thunderstorms

8:10 AM
Rain started falling, heavy at times, this morning and more than 1/2" has accumulated.



MORE TODAY; HEATING UP REST OF WEEK:
Look for more rain over the Upper Cumberland today with highs around 83°. We are still under a Flash Flood Watch until noon. With the .78" since 7 am yesterday, we are now up to 2.34" for the month of July. Most of our county received much more rain than did I. Measurements ranged from 1.62" down to 1.26". Across TN, there was one location that exceeded 4" in the last 24 hours. Expect a lower chance of storms tonight, low 70° and then we'll hit the 90's for the rest of the week.


MIDDLE TN WEATHER HISTORY:
