THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR MIDDLE TENNESSEE.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
LOOK FOR SCATTERED STORMS TO ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON HEAT
AND HUMIDITY. THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURES OF THE SUMMER SO FAR ARE
FORECAST FOR TODAY, AND WHEN COMBINED WITH A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT,
THE NET RESULT WILL BE A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. IN ADDITION, THE
STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED MOST OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE UNDER A
SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

THEREFORE, AS CONVECTION DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON, LOOK FOR A FEW
STORMS TO CROSS SEVERE THRESHOLDS, WITH DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS
POSING THE GREATEST HAZARDS, ALTHOUGH TORRENTIAL RAINFALL, FREQUENT
LIGHTNING, AND SMALL HAIL MAY ALSO BE OBSERVED.

IN ADDITION TO THE THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS, LOOK FOR HEAT
INDICES TO REACH 100 TO 107 DEGREES BY THE AFTERNOON ACROSS MIDDLE
TENNESSEE, EXCEPT THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR MID
STATE RESIDENTS TO BE AWARE OF THE HEALTH DANGERS POSED BY THE
COMBINATION OF EXTREME HEAT AND HUMIDITY, AND YOU ARE URGED TO TAKE
NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO MINIMIZE OUTDOOR ACTIVITY DURING THE WARMEST
HOURS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
THE HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE
COOLER AIR TRICKLES INTO THE MID STATE. THEREFORE, WEDNESDAY MAY
SEE MORE OF THE SAME WEATHER, WITH MIDDLE TENNESSEE ONCE AGAIN UNDER
A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGERS MAY BE NEEDED
BOTH TODAY AND WEDNESDAY.
