THREATS: Damaging Wind, Heavy Downpours, Hail, Low Threat for Isolated Tornadoes
In-Depth:
Another day of severe weather is forecasted across Middle Tennesse and Southern Kentucky. All of the NewsChannel 5 viewing area is under a risk for strong to severe storms with the primary concerns being damaging wind and heavy downpours that could lead to isolated flash flooding, especially in flood prone areas.
Aside from the threats already mentioned we also have concern for hail and a very low threat for tornadoes with any storms that move through the area today and this evening.
Storms will begin moving into the NewsChannel 5 coverage area around lunchtime. As daytime heating begins to mix in with storm ingredients the chances for severe storms will increase through the afternoon. Severe energy should diminish after sunset this evening.
