SAVANNAH, TN-Rain is still falling over much of the Tennessee River Valley and is forecasted to continue into Saturday.
Most areas in the central and northern Valley have already received around three inches of rain. We continue to release large volumes of water from all the dams on the Tennessee River, causing high flows but maintaining levels below flood stage except at Savannah, TN.
Releases from tributary dams have been temporarily stopped to store water and to reduce downstream flooding. Water levels at most of the reservoirs are likely to rise above normal winter pool levels. We are working to manage the increased flows to minimize flooding impacts in Savannah and West Tennessee as much as possible.
