...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
...ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE...

THE SEVERE STORMS PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED A LARGE PART OF
MIDDLE TENNESSEE UNDER A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
TODAY AND THIS EVENING.

AS A STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO THE AREA LATER TODAY...THUNDERSTORMS
WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE MID STATE. SOME WILL LIKELY BECOME SEVERE...WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.

THUNDERSTORMS TEND TO BE STRONGEST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
...DURING THE WARMEST PART OF THE DAY...AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHEN
MOST OF THE STORMS ARE FORECAST TO SWEEP ACROSS THE MID STATE. THIS
IS ONE OF THE BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR THIS
SEASON...AND YOU SHOULD MAKE APPROPRIATE PLANS NOW. DECIDE WHERE
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL SEEK SHELTER SHOULD A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM...
OR TORNADO...APPROACH YOUR AREA. STAY TUNED TO A RELIABLE SOURCE
OF WEATHER INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND EVENING...AND LISTEN
FOR ANY WARNINGS THAT MIGHT BE ISSUED FOR YOUR LOCATION.

EVEN BEFORE THE THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVE...WINDS WILL BE STRONG...AND
COULD GUST AS HIGH AS 40 MPH. WINDS THIS STRONG ARE CAPABLE OF
DOWNING TREES...AND BREAKING LARGE BRANCHES...AND A WIND ADVISORY
REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 700 PM THIS EVENING. THOSE DRIVING HIGH
PROFILE VEHICLES TODAY SHOULD PLAN FOR STRONG CROSS WINDS.

ALONG WITH THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO
LIKELY. MANY AREAS COULD SEE BETWEEN ONE AND A HALF AND TWO INCHES
OF RAIN...WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS AROUND THREE INCHES POSSIBLE. SINCE
MUCH OF THIS RAIN WILL LIKELY FALL IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME...
LOCALIZED FLOOD PROBLEMS MAY DEVELOP.
