NWS ISSUES FLOOD WATCH FOR CALHOUN-REGIONAL COUNTIES

(03/18/2013)
A Flood Watch remains in effect through late tonight for Calhoun and all regional counties.

Roane County schools have been dismissed early.

Some locations have already seen between an inch to two inches of rain which has already led to some streams reaching bankful stage. The ground is wet and still lacks any new Spring vegetation.

Strong rises will also occur on headwater rivers. Those river rises would linger into Tuesday, despite drier and colder air arriving.
