Cindy is forecast to move ashore on the Gulf coast Thursday morning, then eject toward and reach into the Tennessee valley by Friday. As this occurs, a cold front will drop down from the north and interact with the tropical moisture as it passes Friday night.
Cindy`s remnants will bring rain chances as early as Thursday especially in Tennessee, before spiking those chances Friday and Friday night into the rest of the region.
At this time, rainfall amounts over two inches appear most likely along and south of the Ohio River, with perhaps rainfall amounts of 3 to 4 inches possible further south and east toward the Tennessee border.
The heavy rainfall is expected to cause rises on area creeks and small rivers, particularly where flash flooding occurred over the past weekend. Stay tuned for later updates to these projected potential rainfall amounts, and additional specific details concerning this heavy rain event.
