With an overnight storm threat in place tonight into Thursday it's important to have a way to receive weather information while you sleep and on the go. A NOAA weather radio is always your best bet. Our Storm Shield app is another great resource. If you are relying on an app, make sure 'notifications, and 'location' are turned on so your device can alert you. Make sure to close all windows and doors as well to help fortify your home.

The main threat Wednesday night into early Thursday is along and west of Interstate 65.

The threat transitions across all of Middle Tennessee Thursday with wind remaining the primary concern and periods of hail and isolated tornadoes a secondary concern. The best plan of action is to stay weather aware and identify your 'safe space' at home, at work, on the go... everywhere you do life.
