...DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES LOOKING MORE LIKELY IN
MIDDLE TENNESSEE...

ALTHOUGH A QUESTION ON TIMING REMAINS...SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE
THIS AFTERNOON IN THE FORM OF ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS BUT
MORE LIKELY THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS A SQUALL LINE DEVELOPES
FIRST IN EASTERN ARKANSAS DURING AFTERNOON AND MOVES EASTWARD INTO
WESTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE BY EARLY EVENING AND INTO THE NASHVILLE
AREA DURING THE MID TO LATE EVENING. DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS
WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT ALONG WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES...ESPECIALLY
OVER THE WEST HALF OF THE MID STATE. THE SEVERE THREAT WILL SHIFT
TO EASTERN AREAS AND PLATEAU AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH DAYBREAK
SUNDAY.

THE LAST TIME A TORNADO OCCURRED DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER
IN TENNESSEE WAS IN 2000. THE LAST TIME A FATALITY OCCURRED WITH
A TORNADO IN DECEMBER WAS ON DECEMBER 24TH 1988 WHEN A MAN WAS
KILLED IN FRANKLIN TENNESSEE AT 6 AM CST. IN FACT THIS IS THE ONLY
FATALITY FROM A DECEMBER TORNADO SINCE THE OFFICIAL RECORD KEEPING
BEGAN IN 1950. SINCE 1950 THERE HAVE BEEN 13 DECEMBER TORNADOES.
EIGHT OF WHICH OCCURRED DURING THE DECADE OF THE 1970'S.

PEOPLE IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE SHOULD STAY ABREAST OF THE WEATHER
TODAY AND TONIGHT AND PLAN AHEAD SHOULD A WARNING BE ISSUED FOR
YOUR AREA.
