...MULTIPLE PERIODS OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE 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
THIS AFTERNOON...

A WARM FRONT WAS PRODUCING STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM
ARKANSAS INTO MISSISSIPPI THIS MORNING. THIS FRONT WILL LIFT QUICKLY
ACROSS MID TENNESSEE THIS AFTERNOON...BRINGING A GOOD CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS. MUCH MORE HUMID AND UNSTABLE AIR WILL ARRIVE THIS
AFTERNOON...AND THIS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS. MAIN CONCERNS FOR THIS AFTERNOON
ARE DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...AND VERY
HEAVY DOWNPOURS. ALTHOUGH THE THREAT IS LOW...AN ISOLATED TORNADO
CANNOT BE RULED OUT. THE MAIN AREAS IMPACTED THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE
ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 65.

FOR TONIGHT...ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST
WITH THE THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS CONTINUING. THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE MID STATE TOWARD MIDNIGHT AND MAY
CONTINUE INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. ALL TYPES OF SEVER WEATHER ARE
POSSIBLE...BUT THE MAIN CONCERNS FOR TONIGHT WILL BE DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS AND LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL.

BY MONDAY AFTERNOON...VERY WARM...HUMID AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WILL
BE IN PLACE AS MORE THUNDERSTORMS ERUPT AGAIN ACROSS THE REGION.
CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING FOR 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 GREATEST
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 TODAY THROUGH
TUESDAY.
