...A SIGNIFICANT OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED IN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE THIS AFTERNOON 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-TRACKED 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 EXPECTED. STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE BETWEEN 2 AND 4 INCHES...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. THUS...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN
EFFECT UNTIL 11PM TONIGHT. HEAVY RAINS TODAY AND TONIGHT WILL
SATURATE THE SOILS...AND ANY ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINS ON TUESDAY
WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF RUN OFF AND POTENTIAL RIVER AND STREAM
FLOODING AS WELL.

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.
