TROPICAL DEPRESSION IDA

Ida, now a tropical depression, will move gradually northeastward out of Tennessee today. Ida is still  bringing rain northwest, middle Tennessee and upper east Tennessee along the Kentucky border, and to the southeast corner of Tennessee along the borders of Alabama and Georgia. 

Since late Monday, Tropical Depression Ida has dropped 1” to 2” of rain in west and middle Tennessee with higher amounts along the I-65 corridor and eastward. Tennessee may see another 1” to 2”, or higher, of rain from Ida in the eastern part of the state before the storm continues it north and eastward track in the U.S.

Heavy rain of 2” to 5” is forecast with isolated higher amounts up to 6” possible. There is also a chance with Ida for strong to severe storms, damaging winds, and insolated tornadoes, tonight through Wednesday.

Some localized flood, a few water rescues and a few closed roads have been the main impacts from Ida’s visit to Tennessee.
