Flood Watches are in effect across north Alabama and southern Tennessee this weekend.  2" to as much as 4" of rain may fall over the weekend as a cold front and upper level low pressure system pass through the area.  The ground is already very wet from recent rainfall and many streams and creeks are running high.  It won't take much additional rain to cause flooding issues.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Civil Wars are
returning with a new album.

The duo announced the news on their website
Wednesday afternoon. They posted an image of the new self-titled album's cover
along with a pair of handwritten notes from Joy Williams and John Paul White
thanking fans for their patience.

The album will be released late summer by
Columbia Records and is the follow-up to The Civil Wars' debut, "Barton
Hollow." That album earned the duo two of their three Grammy Awards and a
rapidly growing fan base. But their future together appeared in doubt when they
canceled a European tour mid-trip, citing irreconcilable differences.

The album cover is a column of smoke from a
fire.

White writes in his note to fans:
"Patience is a virtue. Yours has been appreciated."
