A LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH ARKANSAS
AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI. THIS LINE IS 50 TO 80 MILES AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT AND IS MOVING EAST AT 35 MPH. BASED ON PRESENT MOVEMENT...
THE LINE SHOULD ENTER WESTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE...NEAR STEWART
COUNTY...BETWEEN 2 AND 3 PM. SEVERE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS
ISSUED A MODERATE RISK ASSESSMENT FOR MUCH OF THE WESTERN HALF
OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE. A SLIGHT RISK EXTENDS OVER THE REMAINDER OF
THE AREA.

THE COLD FRONT WILL FOLLOW THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE
MIDSTATE...ALTHOUGH AT A SLOWER PACE...AND SHOULD ENTER THE WESTERN
PART OF THE MIDSTATE AROUND OR JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. MORE THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. CURRENTLY
WE EXPECT THE BRUNT OF SEVERE STORM ACTIVITY TO BE IN THE
THUNDERSTORM LINE AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

ALSO...FLASH FLOODING IS A THREAT AS THIS ACTIVITY MOVES THROUGH.
AREAS OF FLOODING ARE EXPECTED IN NORTHWEST MIDDLE TENNESSEE...WHERE
HEAVY RAINFALL HAS ALREADY SATURATED THE GROUND. A FLOOD WATCH IS IN
EFFECT FOR THAT AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. WHILE WE ARE NOT EXPECTING
WIDESPREAD FLOODING OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA...POCKETS OF
FLASH FLOODING ARE POSSIBLE DUE TO THUNDERSTORMS MOVING FREQUENTLY
OVER THE SAME AREA.

RESIDENTS IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE...PARTICULARLY IN THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE AREA...SHOULD KEEP ABREAST OF CHANGING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND
BE PREPARED TO ACT ACCORDINGLY.
