STORM 5 ALERT EARLY THURSDAY MORNING
TIMING: 1AM – 7AM
THREATS/IMPACTS: Damaging Wind, Small Hail, Spin-Up Tornadoes
A warm front has stalled just north of the Mid-State leading to our chances for strong to severe storms overnight increasing slightly.
The Storm Prediction Center has increased areas along the TN/KY boarder and north to a 2 out of 5 risk for strong to severe storms overnight.
The biggest threat with any storms overnight will be damaging wind, small hail, and while low there are chances for spin-up tornadoes.
Make sure your mobile device is on and charging when you head to bed so you can receive any alerts if issued overnight.
Also, if you have a weather radio it’s a good idea to have it nearby to wake you up if necessary.
Recently while home sick, I got to watch the news just like you — a viewer! And I have to brag on my co-workers. Not only are they great people and journalists, but they are also tremendous advocates. Look no further than the recent reporting by Amanda Roberts and Jennifer Kraus. This kind of reporting takes dogged commitment. To us, it's always more than a story; this is our home too.
