NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — 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.

Also, if you have a weather radio it’s a good idea to have it nearby to wake you up if necessary.

The skies were closed on 9/11. A Nashville phone call helped save a baby’s life

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
