Issued Tuesday, April 28, 2026
We’ve got some noise makers out there tonight for those of you across northern Overton and Fentress counties, as well as Pickett County and areas to your west. These are not severe, though strong storm advisories have been issued from time to time for gusty winds and small hail. These storms are also producing very heavy rainfall. Storms are moving east. These should give many of you all a good rain!
As you can see, these storms are well ahead of the main action to our west. This is actually good because this allows the atmosphere to let off the instability in smaller bursts, rather than concentrate all the energy on one big squall line. And thankfully they’re stretched out into clusters, rather than isolated cells that we normally worry about ahead of lines. Even the storms across Middle TN to our west are in a messy storm mode, before the main line behind that activity moves in.
We may end up with a severe t-storm watch before the night is through. I doubt they issue a tornado watch for the plateau, since our conditions aren’t as favorable for those. We’d be more likely to see a damaging wind gust with stronger storms.
So far, I haven’t seen any significant damage reports for TN. There are reports from time to time of hail with storms but so far things aren’t looking too bad for us.
You all take care. I’ll be here if anything comes up that you need to know about.
