Nashville, TN – The National Weather Service says a very active weather pattern is expected to continue affecting Clarksville-Montgomery County and Middle Tennessee through next week into the following weekend, with frequent storm systems bringing rain almost every single day.
The next round of rain will arrive Sunday. After another brief drying out on Monday, particularly heavy rain is forecast from Tuesday through Thursday of next week, and even more heavy rain is possible next weekend.
Although the forecast remains uncertain on which parts of Middle Tennessee may see the heaviest rainfall next week, current indications are that total rainfall amounts could reach anywhere from 3 inches northwest to 9 inches southeast.
Due to the frequent and well-above normal rainfall that has already fallen across Clarksville-Montgomery County and Middle Tennessee this month, grounds are saturated and many rivers, creeks and streams are already running high.
The forecast heavy rainfall over the next week has the potential to cause significant flooding along area rivers, with flooding of some area roadways, low lying areas, and other poor drainage locations also possible.
Residents across Middle Tennessee should continue to closely monitor the potential for heavy rainfall and flooding next week.
