Meteorologist Mark’s 5-Day Wx Concerns
The Storm Prediction Center has placed much of Tennessee in the marginal risk for severe storms today, due to the possibility for some of the storms to produce strong winds and small hail. The marginal risk is the lowest of the five severe weather risk categories.
Meteorologist Mark’s Wx Discussion
Storms today continue to look like they will behave themselves. I still can’t rule out an isolated strong or even briefly severe storm, but even the chances for that are looking low.
The pattern becomes more active next week and there may be some systems to watch out for. I’ll have more on that later on. Hopefully, we will just get some rain and not much thunder.
