A flash flood watch continues for southeast Tennessee and north Georgia Tuesday, but the area will see a slight break in the rain this morning and through the afternoon, according to our news partners at WRCB.
Although, the risk of flooding continues throughout the day and more showers will start this evening and be lighter than we have experienced in the past week.
In Tennessee, Hamilton, Bradley, Sequatchie, Bledsoe, Rhea, Meigs, McMinn and Marion counties are in a flood watch until Tuesday evening. In Georgia, Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Murray, Chattooga and Gordon counties are in a flood watch beginning Monday at 1 p.m. until Tuesday evening, according to the National Weather Service.
A flash flood watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding.
A flood warning continues until Thursday night for Lookout Creek affecting Dade and Hamilton counties, South Chickamauga Creek affecting Catoosa and Hamilton counties and Sequatchie River affecting Bledsoe, Marion and Sequatchie counties.
