The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of Middle Tennessee including Cannon and surrounding counties.
Heavy rainfall is likely today. Flash flooding will be very possible. Folks who live in southwest portions of Middle TN, including those west of I-24 and south of I-40 need to have a plan in place now in case the need arises to evacuate to higher ground. Please don`t take this lightly. Have somewhere to go at a moment`s notice to escape flood waters.
In addition, some strong to severe storms will be possible Saturday afternoon and evening. Damaging straight line winds and a couple tornadoes will be the main threat with these storms.
Because the possibility of flooding exists, Cannon County Schools and schools in all surrounding counties are closed today.
All Motlow State Community College campuses will be closed Friday, Feb. 22, and all classes are cancelled.
