Sunday will be quiet before the storm. It will be a warm and breezy day with highs in the mid 70s. Clouds will be increasing and we can’t rule out a spotty shower, but most will stay dry.
The severe threat will start to ramp up tonight, closer to midnight. A line of strong to severe storms will move in from west to east across the Tennessee Valley from 12 AM – 5 AM. Damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph will be the main threat, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. Please have multiple ways to receive warnings while you are sleeping.
Rain and storms will come to an end by your Monday morning commute but you will notice a big temperature drop. Temperatures will start off in the 40s Tuesday morning before sunrise and then fall into the 30s during the afternoon. Breezy westerly winds will make it feel even colder! Any rain will change over to snow as the colder air moves into the region. Can’t rule out a dusting on grassy surfaces and light accumulations across the higher elevations.
Drier weather moves in Tuesday, but it will remain cold with lows in the 20s and highs only in the mid 40s. Fortunately, the cool down will be short-lived as temperatures warm back into the 50s on Wednesday, 60s on Thursday and 70s by Friday.
