As a cold front moved into Middle Tennessee during the early morning hours, the atmosphere continued along and ahead of the front to remain rich in moisture. With instability in the atmosphere still present, and lift being provided by approaching frontal dynamics, thunderstorms developed that produced heavy rainfall resulting in flash flooding across four counties in the mid state through the morning hours.
