Flooding and 14 Tornadoes across the Mid-South
on May 1 & 2, 2010


Reports from May 2nd, 2010


Flooding

A significant weather system brought very heavy rain and severe thunderstorms from Saturday, May 1st through Sunday morning, May 2nd. A stalled frontal boundary coupled with very moist air streaming northward from the Gulf set the stage for repeated rounds of heavy rainfall. Many locations along the I-40 corridor across western and middle Tennessee reported in excess of 10 to 15 inches, with some locations receiving up to 20 inches according to doppler radar estimates.

Below is the storm total rainfall map estimated by NWS doppler radar.
