THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY PUSH TOWARDS THE EAST COAST
ON SUNDAY. CONSISTENT STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WILL KEEP GULF MOISTURE STEERING TOWARDS THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO
VALLEYS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE HEAVY RAINS AND FLOODING TO
CONTINUE ACROSS THESE AREAS...AND ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL
RANGE BETWEEN 3 TO 5 INCHES...WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN
LOCALIZED AREAS.

THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
PREDICTION CENTER AT 400 PM CDT. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS
EVENT.
