...A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...

AS A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY
REGION TODAY...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO MIDDLE
TENNESSEE THIS AFTERNOON...AND EVENTUALLY PUSH EAST OF THE
MID STATE BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. AHEAD OF THIS FRONT...SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP...AS THE ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES
TO BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE...ESPECIALLY AS THE HEAT OF
THE DAY KICKS IN. SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS COULD REACH
SEVERE THRESHOLDS...WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THE
MAIN CONCERNS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS AREAS GENERALLY ALONG AND
EAST OF INTERSTATE 24 AND ALONG AND NORTH OF A MURFREESBORO
TO SPENCER LINE THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD.

ACROSS THE ENTIRE MID STATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE...WITH
STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL THE MAIN CONCERNS. EVEN THOUGH
ATMOSPHERIC UPPER LEVEL WIND PROFILES ARE NOT PARTICULARLY
CONDUCIVE FOR TORNADO DEVELOPMENT...TORNADO DEVELOPMENT CAN
NOT BE TOTALLY RULED OUT EITHER.

HEAVY RAIN AND PONDING OF WATER COULD OCCUR WITH THE STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...BUT AT THIS TIME...
A WIDESPREAD FLOODING EVENT IS NOT ANTICIPATED.

LISTEN TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...MEDIA OUTLETS...AND YOUR LOCAL
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS FOR UPDATES ON THIS POTENTIAL
SEVERE WEATHER EVENT AND ITS POTENTIAL IMPACTS ACROSS MIDDLE
TENNESSEE. BEFORE POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER ENTERS YOUR AREA...
IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD PRACTICE TO REVIEW YOUR SEVERE WEATHER
SAFETY CHECKLIST AND ACTION PLANS.
