NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — With many events being postponed Saturday with the threat of strong to severe storms, we are calling for a Storm 5 Alert thanks to a strong cold front set to move through the area this weekend.
Watch the latest Storm 5 Alert coverage in the player above.
After several days of mild temperatures, we are tracking a strong cold front that will bring the threat of strong to severe storms on Saturday afternoon and evening. All of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky are at a risk for severe storms, with the majority of the NewsChannel 5 viewing area under a Slight Risk (2 out of 5) for severe storms.
The primary concern with any storms will be damaging wind, but small hail and a very low chance of tornadoes cannot be entirely ruled out.
Storm timing looks to get going around 3 p.m. Saturday, with storms diminishing and a cold rain lingering after midnight.
One way to stay ahead of the storms is by downloading the free NewsChannel 5 Storm Shield App.
I'm not sure there is a story that's brought a bigger smile to our faces than this one celebrating Ms. Marie. The story of her service during World War II is amazing in itself — she is a true Rosie the Riveter! What was also amazing was to see was how an entire community turned out to celebrate her. You've got to check this out!
