8:06 Update: The severe t-storm watch was just cancelled early.

The only warning now is for Bledsoe County and that storms is finally showing some weakening. Still, you folks are under a severe t-storm warning until 8:15 CDT. After that storm, we’ll be done.

There are no other active warnings and no other areas of concern. Our evening has finally taken a turn for the better!

I expect the severe t-storm watch to be cancelled at any moment.

The only warning remaining is in Bledsoe County and it is gradually weakening. This warning expires at 8:15 CDT

Things have really calmed down for those of us on the plateau! The only storm of interest is now moving south through Bledsoe County. It has been on a weakening trend now for several minutes. My only remaining concern is those of you in the path of this strong storm in Bledsoe County.

Thank You, Sponsors!

7:42 Update; Severe storm warning extended into Bledsoe County. The storm is showing some rotation, so be aware of that. This matters for you all in southwest Cumberland County for the next 15 mins or so.

7:35 Update: Report of multiple large white oaks down at Genesis and Roy Taylor Rd. Time of that damage is estimated at 6:32 (this occurred with an earlier storm).

7:23 Update: The worst of this storm will stay west of Crossville. The largest hail is closer to the Cumbeland/White County border.

7:20 Update: Large hail confirmed in Mayland via video. It appeared to be golfball sized. Radar certainly supports this.

The only storm of concern now is the one in western Cumberland County. That storm continues to be severe. I’ve circled the areas that need to be concerned with this storm. This is the only storm of concern right now. It is moving south and southeast. The warning expires at 7:45 pm.

I’ve circled the area that needs to be concerned with this storm on the map below. This includes Pleasant Hill, Mayland, Crossville, Tansi, Biglick, and any other nearby areas.

Thank You, Sponsors!
