This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of Middle
Tennessee.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Heavy rain is again very likely across Middle TN today and
especially tonight. 2 to 3 inches may fall by Saturday morning
and with the already very soggy ground, at minimum localized
flooding is expected, and widespread flooding is very possible.
The heaviest rain will be in the south today but move over the
I-40 corridor tonight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Additional heavy rainfall is likely on Saturday and flash
flooding will be very possible. Folks who live in southwest
portions of Middle TN need to have a plan in place now in case
the need arises to evacuate to higher ground. Please don't take
this lightly. Have somewhere to go at a moment's notice to escape
flood waters.

In addition, some strong to severe storms will be possible Saturday
afternoon and evening...especially across the southwest. Damaging
straight line winds and a couple tornadoes will be the main threat
with these storms.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will be needed through Saturday due to the
ongoing flooding potential and the severe potential on Saturday.
