...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR WEST HALF OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE
UNTIL 8 AM CST...

...MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS MUCH OF MID STATE
TODAY...

THE FIRST ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MIDDLE
TENNESSEE THROUGH THE MORNING...GRADUALLY ENDING OR BECOMING
LESS NUMEROUS FROM THE WEST. A FEW STORMS COULD BE SEVERE OVER
THE WEST HALF UNTIL ABOUT 8 AM.

A SECOND ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...
AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA FROM THE WEST. THE WEATHER IS
EXPECTED TO BECOME SERIOUS IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE DURING THE
AFTERNOON...AS DAYTIME HEATING INCREASES...AND THE DYNAMICS BECOME
MORE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WEATHER. EXPECT A SQUALL LINE...WITH
DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREAT...BUT DISCRETE SUPERCELLS ARE
NOT OUT OF QUESTION AS THE ENVIRONMENT IS VERY SHEARED JUST AHEAD OF
THE FRONT. THE SEVERE STORMS SHOULD BE IN THE NASHVILLE AREA BETWEEN
3 AND 5 PM. A FEW STORMS COULD BECOME TORNADIC.

MIDDLE TENNESSEE RESIDENTS SHOULD PREPARE FOR THE SEVERE WEATHER
EVENT EXPECTED LATER TODAY...BY PLANNING ON A LOCATION TO TAKE COVER
SHOULD A WARNING BE ISSUED FOR YOUR AREA. A BASEMENT OR AN INTERIOR
CLOSET OFFERS THE BEST PROTECTION. STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS.

WHEN THUNDERSTORMS ARE OCCURRING...MOVE INDOORS.  DO NOT STAND BY
WINDOWS.  UNLESS IT IS AN EMERGENCY...AVOID USING TELEPHONES AND
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES UNTIL THE STORM HAS PASSED.  DAMAGING WIND...
LARGE HAIL...VERY HEAVY RAIN AND DEADLY LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.
