...MULTIPLE PERIODS OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS...

AN INTENSE AND SLOW MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE WEATHER TO THE MID STATE THREE DAYS IN A ROW...STARTING
TONIGHT.

FOR TONIGHT...THE MAIN AREA OF CONCERN WILL BE WEST OF INTERSTATE
65. A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE
WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS. THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE MID-STATE AROUND THE MIDNIGHT HOUR AND
POSSIBLY CONTINUING INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

BY MONDAY AFTERNOON...VERY WARM...HUMID AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS
WILL BE IN PLACE AS MORE THUNDERSTORMS ERUPT ACROSS THE REGION.
CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING FOR THE POTENTIAL OF A MAJOR OUTBREAK OF
SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS ALL OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE...INCLUDING
TORNADOES... DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...AND LARGE HAIL. THESE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE MONDAY
EVENING...AND CONTINUE INTO THE LATE NIGHT HOURS.

ON TUESDAY...THE SAME WEATHER SYSTEM MAY BRING MORE SEVERE
WEATHER. FOR TUESDAY...THE GREATEST THREAT WILL BE OVER THE FAR
SOUTHERN COUNTIES AND THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU. DAMAGING STRAIGHT
LINE WINDS AND HAIL APPEAR TO BE THE MAIN THREATS AT THIS TIME.

IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...FLASH FLOODING IS ALSO
A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY. ESTIMATED STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 3 TO 5 INCHES ACROSS ALL OF
MIDDLE TN WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. THE BEST CHANCE
FOR FLASH FLOODING IMPACTS WILL OCCUR MONDAY NIGHT AND INTO
TUESDAY. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT...PLEASE
REFER TO OUR HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK DISCUSSION (ESF).

THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS NOW. CHECK YOUR NOAA
WEATHER RADIO FOR FRESH BATTERIES AND HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE FOR
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO FOLLOW IF YOU COME UNDER A TORNADO OR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING AT SOME POINT SUNDAY...MONDAY OR
TUESDAY.
