Storm 5 Alert
Forecast:
Tonight: Strong / Severe Storms Through 2 AM| Low: 69| SW 15-20, Gust: 30 mph+
In Depth
Storms are expected to begin around 7 p.m. near the Kentucky-Tennessee state line, then move southward along and near the I-40 corridor by approximately 10 p.m. and finally exit the region by around 2 AM Saturday.
The main threats include a high likelihood of damaging wind gusts exceeding 65 miles per hour and very large hail, potentially up to 3 inches in diameter. For reference, hail of that size is comparable to a tennis ball or hockey puck. There is also a chance for tornadoes. The wind and hail threat covers all of Middle Tennessee, while the highest tornado risk is higher north of I-40 and west of I-65.
