... A SIGNIFICANT OUTBREAK OF TORNADOES IS POSSIBLE IN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE TODAY AND THIS EVENING...

A STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE AREA OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
WILL PUSH A STRONG COLD FRONT INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE TODAY AND
TONIGHT.

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER...IN NORMAN, OKLAHOMA...HAS PLACED
ALL OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE IN A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER
TODAY AND TONIGHT...AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS OUR AREA.
THE POSSIBILITY FOR TORNADOES WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY
TODAY...INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR A COUPLE STRONG...DAMAGING...
TORNADOES. THIS POSSIBILITY FOR TORNADOES WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING HOURS AS WELL...AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN...ESPECIALLY ALONG
THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU.

DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND LARGE HAIL ARE ALSO EXPECTED
WITH SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT.

IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES NOW TO REVIEW
SOME TORNADO SAFETY RULES. IF A TORNADO IS OBSERVED OR A TORNADO
WARNING IS ISSUED FOR YOUR AREA...

...AND YOU ARE IN A HOME OR BUILDING...MOVE TO A PRE DESIGNATED
SHELTER...SUCH AS A BASEMENT.

...IF AN UNDERGROUND SHELTER IS NOT AVAILABLE...MOVE TO AN
INTERIOR ROOM...HALLWAY...OR BATHROOM...ON THE LOWEST FLOOR OF
THE BUILDING.

...MOBILE HOMES...EVEN IF TIED DOWN...OFFER LITTLE PROTECTION FROM
THE FORCE OF A TORNADO. ABANDON THEM...AND GO TO A PRE DESIGNATED
SHELTER.

...STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS.

...DO NOT TRY AND OUTRUN A TORNADO IN YOUR CAR. LEAVE YOUR
AUTOMOBILE...AND SEEK STURDY SHELTER.
