...A SIGNIFICANT OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED IN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE TODAY AND TONIGHT...

AN INTENSE AND SLOW MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE WEATHER TO THE MID STATE THROUGH TUESDAY.

THE ATMOSPHERE OVER MIDDLE TENNESSEE IS FORECAST TO BECOME
INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE TODAY...WITH A SIGNIFICANT OUTBREAK OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY THIS AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT. STRONG...LONG TRACK TORNADOES ARE
POSSIBLE...AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL
BE LIKELY.

ON TUESDAY...THE SAME WEATHER SYSTEM MAY BRING MORE SEVERE
WEATHER...WITH DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND HAIL EXPECTED TO
BE THE MAIN THREATS ACROSS MOST OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE.

IN ADDITION TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING IS
ALSO A POSSIBILITY. STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS THROUGH
TUESDAY EVENING ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE BETWEEN 2 AND 4 INCHES
...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. HEAVY RAINS TODAY AND
TONIGHT WILL SATURATE THE SOILS...AND ANY ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINS
ON TUESDAY WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF RUN OFF AND LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT...PLEASE
REFER TO OUR HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK DISCUSSION.

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....AND BE READY TO TAKE QUICK ACTION
IF A TORNADO OR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING IS ISSUED FOR YOUR
AREA.
