Flood Watch Changes Event Plans and School

A Flood Watch is in effect for Cannon and all surrounding counties until Saturday morning.

Flooding can be caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.  Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded.

Forecast rainfall amounts are 2 to 4 inches with some areas potentially receiving 4 to 5 inches.

Cannon County Schools will be closed on Friday, September 27, due to incoming inclement weather forecasted for the Cannon County area. This will be inclement weather day #1 for the 2024-2025 school year.

The Color of Fall Car Show scheduled for Saturday has been re-scheduled to the planned rain date of October 5th.  Carolyn Motley with the Cannon County Chamber of Commerce made the announcement of the change Thursday.  Our decision to use the rain date is in respect to our participants and visitors.

The annual event is a fundraiser for the Chamber and is held on the courthouse square.

Cannon County Lions Football team’s game with Community High School was moved up twenty-four hours so fans could enjoy the game with a smaller chance of rain.  Cannon defeated Community 54-0. A replay of the game broadcast will air Saturday morning at 8:10.
