ROUNDS OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE

ALONG WITH THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL...AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX
VALUES THIS AFTERNOON WILL RANGE FROM 100 TO 105 DEGREES FOR
LOCATIONS WEST OF THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU REGION...DUE TO WARM AND
HUMID AIR BEING USHERED IN FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. A SURFACE
FRONTAL PASSAGE IS EXPECTED BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...RESULTING IN
SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR WORKING INTO THE MID STATE...WITH HEAT INDEX
VALUES MUCH CLOSER TO FORECASTED HIGHS...AROUND 90 TO LOWER 90S...
