NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Just one day after strong storms caused flash flooding across the region, Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky are experiencing wintry weather.
Saturday storms brought as much as six inches of rain to some counties in the mid-state, causing overflowing waterways and roads. Officials urged residents to refrain from driving due to flooding, which has caused hazardous road conditions and closures. Many of these roads remained closed Sunday.
Following the severe weather, temperatures plummeted overnight, leaving most of the region experiencing below-freezing conditions.
Sunday morning, Clarksville residents woke up to snow-coated lawns after they were affected by flooding that caused dozens of road closures.
Sunday morning, News 2 viewers in Kentucky also saw a blanket of snow covering cars and lawns. A day prior, Simpson County authorities issued warnings regarding several road closures due to high water after 1.5 to 3 inches of rain fell before 10 a.m. Many of those roads were still closed Sunday, officials said.
More wintry weather is expected to move in through the week, and flooding remains a concern through Sunday afternoon. A Flood Watch will be in effect in most Middle TN and Southern KY counties through noon Sunday.
