...TORNADO WATCH UNTIL 4 PM CDT THIS AFTERNOON...

CURRENTLY THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING ACROSS WESTERN TENNESSEE
AND WESTERN KENTUCKY. THESE STORMS WILL MOVE INTO NORTHWEST
BY 1 PM...AND CONTINUE EAST. THE ENVIRONMENT ACROSS MIDDLE
TENNESSEE IS SUCH THAT A FEW STORMS COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING
WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES.

NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK OF A PLACE TO TAKE SHELTER SHOULD A
TORNADO WARNING BE ISSUED FOR YOUR AREA.

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

PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR LATER STATEMENTS AND
WARNINGS SHOULD THEY BECOME NECESSARY.
