...TORNADO WATCH FOR ALL OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE CONTINUES UNTIL 6 PM
CST...

...MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE ENTIRE MID STATE FOR
THIS AFTERNOON...

ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO FAR
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA BY 1PM...AS AN UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES
FROM THE WEST. THE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO BECOME SERIOUS IN
MIDDLE TENNESSEE..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.
