...TORNADO WATCH FOR MUCH OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE UNTIL 6 PM CST...

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

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

A SECOND ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE
AREA AROUND NOON...AS AN UPPER TROUGH 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 LIKELY AS THE ENVIRONMENT IS VERY SHEARED.
SUPERCELLS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED WELL AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINES
ARRIVAL. THE BEST TIME FRAME FOR SEVERE STORMS IN THE NASHVILLE AREA
IS BETWEEN 2 AND 6 PM. A FEW STORMS COULD BECOME TORNADIC IN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

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.
