- SEVERAL ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT EAST TENNESSEE
BETWEEN SATURDAY MORNING AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. WIDESPREAD
AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES ARE EXPECTED, BUT LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS COULD OCCUR. THE HEAVY RAINFALL RATES PLUS THE
POTENTIAL FOR STORMS TO AFFECT AN AREA MULTIPLE TIMES,
ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN PLATEAU AND SOUTHERN VALLEY, MEANS
THE RISK OF FLOODING IS HEIGHTENED.
