...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TODAY IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE...

AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS
WESTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS. A
REGENERATION OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL TAKE PLACE OVER WESTERN
MIDDLE TENNESSEE NEAR THE TENNESSEE RIVER LATER THIS MORNING IN
THE FORM OF A LINE. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT WILL BE SWINGING ACROSS THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY DURING THE MORNING AND THEN UP INTO THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY DURING THE DAY. BY 10 AM...A LINE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS...SOME POSSIBLY SEVERE WILL BEGIN REDEVELOPING OVER WESTERN
MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND BEGIN MOVING SLOWLY EASTWARD. 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 ABOUT 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. ALSO...LOCALIZED
RAINFALL IN EXCESS OF TWO INCHES IS LIKELY.

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.
