FLASH FLOOD WARNING
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
444 PM CDT WED JUN 12 1996
 
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN NASHVILLE HAS ISSUED A
FLASH FLOOD WARNING EFFECTIVE UNTIL  745 PM CDT
FOR PEOPLE IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS...
 
IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE
 
   ...CANNON COUNTY...WARREN COUNTY
 
DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR INDICATES OVER 3 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN AROUND
WOODBURY SINCE 330 PM CDT. THIS IS ENOUGH RAINFALL TO CAUSE FLASH
FLOODING ACROSS PARTS OF CANNON COUNTY.
 
THE STORM THAT HAS PRODUCED THE HEAVY RAINFALL IN CANNON COUNTY IS
ALSO EXTENDING INTO WARREN COUNTY NORTH OF MCMINNVILLE SO FLASH FLOODING
IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN WARREN COUNTY.
 
THESE STORMS ARE SLOW MOVING AND WILL PRODUCE VERY LARGE AMOUNTS OF
RAINFALL IN A SHORT TIME.
 
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY.  THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO
CROSS SAFELY.  VEHICLES CAUGHT IN RISING WATER SHOULD BE
ABANDONED QUICKLY.  MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
