After a rainy start to Labor Day weekend, forecasters are issuing a flood watch due to the likelihood of more thunderstorms and heavy rain.

The Nashville office of the National Weather Service warns drivers to be on the lookout for flooded roads and other low lying areas. The watch is in effect through Monday evening — which could put a halt to outdoor gatherings and holiday cookouts.

Neighborhoods that have already been met with several inches of rain during the past few days are most at-risk for quick flooding. Radar shows that seven inches of rain fell across Maury County.

A long period of scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected throughout the week. Some cities in the region could see rainfall of up to four inches.
