Rain, risk of flooding continue Sunday for Middle Tennessee, with dry conditions soon

• Rain is likely in Nashville through Sunday afternoon with a flood watch in effect until 1 p.m.
• While the risk of flash flooding will subside Sunday, rivers and creeks could continue to flood through midweek.
• Dry conditions are expected in Middle Tennessee from Monday through Wednesday.

Rain and the risk of flooding and isolated severe weather will continue in Middle Tennessee on Sunday, but dry weather is coming soon, according to the National Weather Service.  

More rain is likely before 4 p.m. in Nashville Sunday, with temperatures reaching 60 degrees. A flood watch is in place for Nashville until 1 p.m. Sunday, with a flood advisory in place until 1 a.m. Monday.  

“The flash flooding risk will subside today (Sunday),” said Faith Borden, a meteorologist with NWS in Nashville. “There’s a risk of the rivers and creeks flooding through midweek, which is pretty typical for our area this time of year.”  

There is still an isolated risk for sever weather Sunday in Middle Tennessee. Damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat, and there still is a low chance for tornadoes Sunday, according to NWS.  

The forecast calls for dry conditions starting Monday into next week. Conditions should stay dry until there’s a chance of rain Thursday and Friday, Borden said.
