The gust front has made its way across the plateau and has now moved east. There have been a few reports of trees blown down but nothing too major. I had a gust to 40 mph.

What’s very unfortunate is that our rain just disintegrated when it hit the plateau. I was hoping that wouldn’t happen but I’ve seen gust fronts do this before. I’m not sure I’ll even get a drop of rain tonight. But, that’s why rain chances were 50/50. I just wish we could get some rain.

There are more showers west of Nashville but they’re trending in more of southeast direction, which would miss many of us on the plateau.

If we miss all the rain tonight, hopefully we’ll be luckier with Saturday night’s rain.

The good news is that we’ve had a very quiet severe weather season thus far. The bad news is that dry weather is why there haven’t been any storms. If only we could get the rain without the bad storms.

You all have a good night.

The gust front can still be seen as that speckled line of dust, etc well ahead of the rain. It continues to cross the plateau at this hour. Things can go from calm to (a bit) crazy in a short time. Thankfully, the winds have weakened below severe limits, as the storms themselves weaken too. Still, we could have some stiff gusts as that moves through, followed by some rain.

The severe t-storm warning continues for Putnam, White, and Van Buren counties until 9:00 pm.

The line continues to slowly weaken but the gust front ahead of the storms is what has prompted the warning. As this line moves across the plateau later this evening, we’ll likely see a burst of gusty winds with that gust front. Hopefully, they’ll weaken to levels where a warning isn’t needed. Remember, a severe t-storm is for winds greater than 58 mph. If the NWS thinks we might have a gust of that magnitude, they’ll issue a warning.

The gust front is well ahead of the precipiation, so you won’t be able to go by the radar returns to know where the gustiest winds are. These gust fronts often develop as storms collapse and weaken, which is what we’re seeing with this activity this evening.

There have been reports of downed trees but I haven’t seen anything widespread or extreme reported. It’s mostly a downed tree here and there.

I’ll keep watching it!
