I really don't see much need to post information that we all have access to already.

**R13** · July 28th, 2009, 11:02 PM

Dude, I haven't seen the usual poster that does this around for awhile, but usually there is a thread about the weather. It's pretty helpful, esp around the winter time.

thanks R13....
Now that you speak of it I havent seen beamer_ball either.

Some heavy rains expected again, especially tonight and into Friday. Might see some flood watches going up depending on how things develop. Rain shield associated with a low pressure system tracking across Arkansas currently should aid in the heavy rains later as it moves closer.

Flood Watch

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN
314 PM EDT THU JUL 30 2009

... Flood Watch in effect from 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ this evening
through Friday evening...

...Moderate to heavy rains may cause flooding overnight and Friday...

.A moist airmass over the southern Appalachians and Tennessee valley...ahead of an approaching low pressure system and cold front...will result in widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms into Friday.

Most locations have received varying amounts of significant rainfall over the past few days...with some locally torrential rainfall in a few sports. These additional 1 to 3 inches of rainfall through Friday afternoon...should cause urban and small stream flooding in many areas. Poor drainage and low lying flood prone areas are the most likely areas for flooding...and flash flood warnings may be required in areas which receive especially heavy local rainfall.

The showers and storms should move northeast of the region by Friday evening. Stay tuned to this station for later statements and forecasts.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for heavy rain... which may lead to flooding in and near the watch area. If you are in the watch area... .keep an eye out for rising water or water over roadways. Keep informed... and be ready for action if flooding is observed or if a Flood Warning is issued. If you come to a closed or flooded Road... turn around! Don't drown!
