  • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers preparing for heavy rainfall and river levels this weekend

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District is monitoring an expected 3 to 5 inches of rainfall across the Cumberland River Basin this weekend, with the heaviest amounts forecasted in the Cheatham Lake and Lake Barkley watersheds. With already saturated ground, most of the rain will run off into rivers and streams, leading to rising water levels. The Cumberland River at Nashville is expected to peak at 36.7 feet early Monday, below minor flood stage, while Clarksville could reach 50 feet, moderate flood stage, Sunday night. The Corps has adjusted dam operations at Wolf Creek, Dale Hollow, Center Hill, and J. Percy Priest to manage runoff and reduce flood risks.
