Weather woes continue

About 4 inches of rain fell in Nashville during the first 20 days of February. Yet a series of strong storms this week could more than double that monthly total.

State of play: National Weather Service meteorologists are predicting two waves of severe weather.

• Storms pushing through Middle Tennessee today could carry damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. The system could bring as much as 3 inches of rain to the area by Wednesday morning.
• A second round of storms in the back half of the week could lead to an additional 3 inches of rain.

Be smart: Flooding remains a risk for the rest of the week.

• NWS meteorologist Caroline Adcock pointed out that a relatively small amount of rain last week led to flash flooding in different parts of the city.
• "Our area isn't handling water very well right now," Adcock tells Axios.
