A cold front moved across Middle Tennessee during the day on Monday, November 6, stalling across far northern Alabama in the evening before lifting slowly back northward overnight into Tuesday, November 7. Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed north of the front during the afternoon and evening hours and then moved eastward along the I-40 corridor. Additional showers and storms formed across West Tennessee and spread eastward across the same areas along the I-40 corridor during the night and into the morning hours on November 7. As a result, over 6 inches of rain fell in some areas, which resulted in widespread flooding from Humphreys County eastward across the southern Nashville metro area to Cumberland County. Some of the worst flooding affected parts of De Kalb County, including the Alexandria, Liberty, Temperance Hall, and Dowelltown areas. Several area rivers and creeks also saw extensive flooding, with a few even reaching moderate flood stage.
