UPDATE: Severe Thunderstorm, Flash Flood Warning for Montgomery County - Clarksville Now

Update, 7:40 p.m.: The Severe Thunderstorm Warning and Tornado Watch have been canceled by the NWS. The Flash Flood Warning remains in effect.

So far, there haven’t been any major problems with flooding or water over the roads in Montgomery County – just a few spots in the usual low-lying areas, EMA Director Ed Baggett said.

Update, 7:10 p.m.: The Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been extended to 7:30 p.m.

Update, 6:40 p.m.: The Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been extended to 7:15 p.m.

Update, 6 p.m.: A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for Montgomery County until 6:30 p.m.

A severe thunderstorm was located near Erin, moving northeast at 55 mph with 60 mph wind gusts.

Expect damage to roofs, siding, and trees.

The warning applies to northwestern Dickson County, southwestern Montgomery County and eastern Houston County.

Update, 5:55 p.m.: Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the warned area, according to the National Weather Service.

Between 1 and 2.5 inches of rain have fallen. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly. Expect flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as other drainage and low lying areas.

Montgomery, Houston, Stewart and Robertson counties are under the warning.

“Turn around, don’t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles,” the alert said.

A Flash Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring. If you are in the warned area move to higher ground immediately. Residents living along streams and creeks should take immediate precautions to protect life and property.

CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – A Tornado Watch has been issued for Montgomery and surrounding counties through 10 p.m.

The watch also covers Christian and surrounding counties in Kentucky.

So far today, most of the storm has shifted north of Clarksville, but we’re expected to get more storms late this afternoon and tonight, according to the National Weather Service.

Damaging straight line wind is the main threat but isolated tornadoes are also possible.

A Tornado Watch means that conditions are right for a tornado to form. If a tornado is spotted, a Tornado Warning will be issued.

Montgomery County is also under a Flood Watch and is expected to get up to 2 inches of rain out of the storm, which is falling on already saturated grounds, according to the NWS alert.
