CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The National Weather Service in Nashville has issued a Flood Advisory for eastern Montgomery County, northwestern Cheatham County, and western Robertson County until 11:45 a.m.

At 8:38 a.m., radar indicated heavy rain due to thunderstorms, the NWS advisory said. Minor flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly in the advisory area.

Some locations that will experience flooding include Hurricane Creek, Dawson Creek, and areas near Cunningham, Rocky Ford Creek including Salem, McAdoo Creek and areas near Hickory
Point, Sango, downtown Clarksville, Spring Creek including Barren Plains, Buzzard Creek including Cedar Hill, and areas near Springfield, Coopertown, Pleasant View, and Adams.

For now, both the Cumberland and the Red rivers are well below flood stages. The Cumberland was at 26.91 feet at 9 a.m. Tuesday and is expected to crest at 29.6 feet on Thursday. Flood stage is 46 feet. The Red was at 5.46 feet at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. Flood stage is 30 feet.

Area creeks and streams are the main concerns.

“We have seen widespread amounts of 1 to 3 inches of rainfall from Monday evening to now,” a morning alert said. “Additional amounts of 2 to 4 inches are possible throughout the day today. Expect area creeks to begin to rise in response to the runoff and localized flooding could become an issue later this morning.”

Drivers are urged to avoid trying to cross water on roads, as the water is often deeper than it appears.

Wind gust of 20 to 30 mph are possible today and tomorrow.

Montgomery and surrounding counties remain under a Flash Flood Watch through late Tuesday night.

“Widespread heavy rainfall associated with the remnants of Hurricane Ida are expected to affect portions of Middle Tennessee beginning tonight through late Tuesday night,” the National Weather Service alert said.
