...Dangerous and Potentially Life Threatening Heavy Rainfall
Leading to Widespread Flooding Across Much of East Tennessee and
Southwest Virginia...

A stalled warm front continues to promote prolonged and widespread
Flooding across much of east Tennessee and southwest Virginia.
Many roadways are inundated by flood waters. This is a
potentially life threatening situation. Motorists are strongly
urged to use caution and whatever you do, do not drive into flood
waters, and do not drive around flood barriers. Lastly, saturated
soils combined with heavy rainfall will lead to additional
mudslides on steeper slopes.

Turn Around Dont Drown!
