NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Stay weather ready and have multiple ways to be alerted of incoming severe weather
FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY – TODAY AND TONIGHT
We’re bracing for a round of strong to severe thunderstorms to move through Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky starting mainly this evening and lasting through the overnight hours. However, we’ll even need to stay weather during the day today as some guidance models show isolated strong storms develop this afternoon in the northwest Middle Tennessee and Southwestern Kentucky. The severe threat is the highest along and west of I-65, a 2/5 on the threat scale, and falls to a 1/5 in the Plateau.
The main threat for widespread storms will be between 10 pm and 5 am. ALL severe hazards will be possible with heavy rain and damaging winds being the main threats, but storms could also produce some hail and even a couple of spin-up tornadoes. Make sure you have multiple ways to be alerted of incoming severe weather, have a plan in place and know where your safe place is if severe weather is coming your way.
FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY – TOMORROW EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
Another round of strong to severe storms will move in with a cold front Tuesday evening and overnight. The severe threat is a level 2/5 across all of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky but the storm threats themselves are a bit different.
The threat for a spin-up tornado is lower, but the threat for large hail will slightly increase. Damaging wind and heavy rainfall threat are still going to be the main threats will any storm. And since the ground will already be so saturated from previous rounds of rain, there would be a slight increase in the risk for minor flash flooding, but no major flooding is expected at this time.
