...ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AREA WAS LOCATED OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI
AT LATE MORNING...WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN
KENTUCKY. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AND INTO
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS POSITION WILL PLACE
MIDDLE TENNESSEE IN THE WARM SECTOR DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WHEN SURFACE HEATING IS AT ITS MAXIMUM. AS THE COLD
FRONT MOVES EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING THERE COULD BE
A FEW STORMS IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE THAT WILL PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS
AND LARGE HAIL...WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES POSSIBLE. THE WEST HALF
OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE APPEARS TO BE MORE PRONE TO THE SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT...BUT EASTERN AREAS COULD ALSO SEE ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS.

APRIL AND MAY ARE PEAK SEVERE WEATHER MONTHS IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE.

THE FOLLOWING ARE A FEW SAFETY RULES...

IF YOU ARE CAUGHT OUTSIDE...SEEK SHELTER IN A NEARBY REINFORCED
BUILDING. AS A LAST RESORT...SEEK SHELTER IN A CULVERT...DITCH OR LOW
SPOT AND COVER YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR HANDS.

THE SAFEST PLACE TO BE DURING A TORNADO IS IN A BASEMENT. GET UNDER A
WORKBENCH OR OTHER PIECE OF STURDY FURNITURE. IF NO BASEMENT IS
AVAILABLE...SEEK SHELTER ON THE LOWEST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING IN AN
INTERIOR HALLWAY OR ROOM SUCH AS A CLOSET. USE BLANKETS OR PILLOWS TO
COVER YOUR BODY AND ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS.

IF IN MOBILE HOMES OR VEHICLES...EVACUATE THEM AND GET INSIDE A
SUBSTANTIAL SHELTER. IF NO SHELTER IS AVAILABLE...LIE FLAT IN THE
NEAREST DITCH OR OTHER LOW SPOT AND COVER YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR HANDS.

PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR LATER STATEMENTS.
