Storm 5 Alert in effect from now until 7 p.m. Friday

STORM 5 ALERT Thursday Noon to 7 p.m. Friday
 
TIMING: Thursday Afternoon - Friday Evening 

THREATS/IMPACTS: Flash Flooding, Quick spin-up tornadoes, gusty wind

The remnants of Francine will bring a risk for isolated flash flooding and quick spin-up tornadoes starting Thursday afternoon through Friday night.

When tropical systems spawn tornadoes, they tend to form quickly and dissipate quickly. Because they are embedded within the outer rainbands, they are difficult to track on radar so it's important to take all warnings seriously and act quickly.

Drought conditions will enhance the flood risk because water will pool quickly before it can soak in.

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
