A LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY EASTWARD
THROUGH WESTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE THIS MORNING. NO SEVERE WEATHER IS
EXPECTED THROUGH DAYBREAK. HOWEVER...REGENERATION OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
ARE EXPECTED OVER NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND WESTERN MIDDLE

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.

FORECASTS AND CHECKING BATTERIES IN YOUR NOAA WEATHER RADIO. STAY
