What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Nashville, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Feb 6, 11:10 PM CST, 2 hours 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 11:10 PM CST, 2 hours 5 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Nashville TN
1110 PM CST Wed Feb 6 2019

.UPDATE...
FOR 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Very heavy rainfall due to a warm front draped across the northern
part of the area, and abnormally high moisture with soundings
showing PWAT values above 1 inch, have impacted the area this
evening. Models show the warm front slowly moving northward
tonight, and heavier rainfall should come to an end before
sunrise. Before that, another 1 to 2 inches of rain, with locally
higher amounts possible, can be expected for the I-40 corridor and
northward. There will be a break in the rain from the early
morning through early afternoon before a cold front brings another
shot of rain from northwest to southeast. Amounts look to be at or
less than an inch, but with heavy rain this evening, that could
also pose some additional flooding concerns.

Updated forecast to match up with latest CAM guidance, and temp
trends overnight. Rest of the forecast is on track.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF DISCUSSION.

Shower activity is tapering off per regional radar trends, with
only light scattered showers expected for the rest of the night.
Conditions will gradually improve, however gusty winds will pick
up through the afternoon with gusts to 30 kts possible.

.OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
