The potential for widespread flooding definitely exists with the upcoming system, although lets hope that this thread turns out to be a total bust. Congrats to all our hardworking admins that made the server migration and got us back up and running in our new home!
The first round of moisture and rain is gathering in Texas and Arkansas. That will be in our neck of the woods by tomorrow.

This may cause area creeks and streams to beginrising on Sunday. Soils remain nearly saturated from the recentsnowmelt, and just a little rain will have a big impact on waterlevels. For Sunday into early Monday, widespread additionalamounts of 1 to 3 inches of rainfall are possible. Total amountsare expected to range between 1 and 4 inches for most of the MidState. It is also possible rainfall amounts exceed 4 to 5 inchesby Monday morning, especially in southern and eastern counties.The larger creeks and rivers will continue to rise on Monday andTuesday, and it is possible some of these waterways crest near oreven exceed Flood Stage resulting in minor flooding concerns onTuesday and Wednesday. Rivers that are likely to be affected are theCumberland River from Old Hickory Dam through Dover, the HarpethRiver from the Franklin area through Kingston Springs, the DuckRiver from Shelbyville through Hurricane Mills, the Tennessee Riverdownstream of Pickwick Dam, and the adjacent tributaries near theAlabama state line. It is possible the lower portions of theTennessee River and the Cumberland River remain high through most ofnext week.While the exact location of higher rainfall amounts is yet to bedetermined, it is imperative that if you have interests nearareas that are known to flood, that you pay close attention torainfall forecasts over the next couple of days.
Last week we were like come to daddy.
Last week was a good week. My kids actually got tired of sledding. Who knew?
Maybe they'll get tired of rowing this week.
Today might be the first day ever where I genuinely pay attention to a marginal risk due to the events of last year.
