...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TODAY ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE...

A WEAKENING LINE OF STORMS CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH WESTERN TENNESSEE
WAS APPROACHING THE TENNESSEE RIVER AT 2 AM. THE REMNANTS OF THE
LINE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO WESTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BUT NO SEVERE WEATHER IS
EXPECTED THROUGH DAYBREAK. AFTER 8 AM WE EXPECT TO BEGIN SEEING
REGENERATION OF SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND
WESTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE...CLOSER TO THE TENNESSEE RIVER IN
RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT WILL BE
SWINGING ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS MORNING AND THEN
UP INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY DURING THE DAY. BY 10 AM...A LINE OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS...SOME POSSIBLY SEVERE WILL DEVELOP OVER
WESTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND BEGIN TO MOVE SLOWLY EAST. WITH
INCREASED DAYTIME HEATING AND INSTABILITY...ALONG WITH THE
APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THE SEVERE THREAT WILL REMAIN
ACROSS THE WEST HALF OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE THROUGH 2 PM...BEFORE
SHIFTING INTO EASTERN AREAS OF THE MID STATE DURING THE MID
AFTERNOON...AND CONTINUING THROUGH ABOUT 7 PM...BEFORE EXITING
THE PLATEAU.

THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS...AND LARGE
HAIL BUT ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE.

FOR THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF THIS YEAR THERE HAVE BEEN 27
TORNADOES IN TENNESSEE WITH NO FATALITIES. LAST YEAR FOR THE SAME
TIME PERIOD WE ALSO HAD 27 TORNADOES BUT WITH 3 FATALITIES.

APRIL IS THE PEAK MONTH FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE.
PREPARE FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER BY MONITORING THE LATEST
FORECASTS AND CHECKING BATTERIES IN YOUR NOAA WEATHER RADIO. STAY
TUNED TO LOCAL MEDIA AND WEATHER.GOV FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ON
THIS POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER SITUATION.
