Thermometers are starting to rise in Chattanooga after a storm system blanketed the region with as much as 8 inches of snow.

Temperatures are expected to hit 43 degrees today, which will likely turn the big snow into a big melt.

As the snow fades, the region could experience flooding, said Dean Flener, spokesman for the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency.

“Whenever you get that amount of snow melt, flooding can be a concern because you’re so mountainous and hilly over there,” he said on the phone from Nashville. “With all that running down, you could see some flash flooding. That’s something to be aware of.”
