WVLT and the National Weather Service say rain and thunderstorms will continue across East Tennessee on Tuesday, with flooding risk still elevated in some areas.
Rain and thunderstorms are expected to continue across East Tennessee through Tuesday, keeping the risk of flooding elevated in parts of the region.
WVLT said in a morning forecast update on June 9 that rain and thunderstorms will continue through the day. The station said flooding remains a concern as the wet pattern lingers.
The National Weather Service in Morristown had already placed portions of East Tennessee under a flood watch on June 8. Its forecast guidance also called for showers and thunderstorms to return to the area, with the potential for heavy rain in a small area.
That combination of repeated showers, thunderstorms and saturated ground is what keeps the flood threat in focus for the day. The main question now is where the heaviest rain sets up and whether any counties or roads see localized flooding as storms evolve.
The National Weather Service may update its outlook later Tuesday if conditions change.
