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

THE FIRST ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MIDDLE
TENNESSEE THROUGH THE MORNING...BECOMING LESS NUMEROUS FROM
THE WEST.

A SECOND ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED LATE MORNING INTO
THE 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
2 AND 6 PM. A FEW STORMS COULD BECOME TORNADIC.

MIDDLE TENNESSEE RESIDENTS NEED TO 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.

THE SAFEST PLACE TO BE DURING A TORNADO IS IN A BASEMENT. GET UNDER A
WORKBENCH OR OTHER PIECE OF STURDY FURNITURE. IF NO BASEMENT IS
AVAILABLE...SEEK SHELTER ON THE LOWEST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING IN AN
INTERIOR HALLWAY OR ROOM SUCH AS A CLOSET. USE BLANKETS OR PILLOWS TO
COVER YOUR BODY AND ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS.

IF IN MOBILE HOMES OR VEHICLES...EVACUATE THEM AND GET INSIDE A
SUBSTANTIAL SHELTER. IF NO SHELTER IS AVAILABLE...LIE FLAT IN THE
NEAREST DITCH OR OTHER LOW SPOT AND COVER YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR HANDS.
