As a meteorologist, it’s always good to see the forecast panning out when waking from a nice nap. Afternoon rain looks limited to areas along the Alabama state line. Rain totals since yesterday have been all over the place, depending upon where you live. At the Nashville Airport only 0.07″ of new rain fell this morning, but at my house in southern Davidson County there was 1″ to 2″. In many counties west of I-65 between 2″ and 4″ of rain has fallen since midnight. Counties near the Tennessee River saw very heavy rain this morning (flash flood warnings were issued briefly at mid-morning for a couple of counties). To view Doppler-estimated rainfall totals, click the “NWS Radar Loop” at the top of the blog, then “Storm Total” under the “Rainfall” heading. Typically, the estimated amounts tend to be a little generous…but I do believe that a few locations actually did pick up 4″ to 5″ today.
