MM’s Forecast Update for the Plateau
At 11:35, WxTAP radar shows a band of heavy rain moving northeast from southern Middle TN at this hour. This band of scattered showers and storms could produce gusty winds, torrential rainfall, and lightning. It will be impacting the plateau over the next couple of hours. A severe t-storm can’t be ruled out.
For perspective, by 12:15 it should be getting close to Sparta. By 12:30 it should be getting close to Crossville. Just keep an eye on that radar in case its speed changes.
The latest update from the Storm Prediction Center at 11:15 maintains a marginal risk for severe storms for our area through the afternoon. No watches are in effect and there are currently no warnings in effect for anyone in the state. Some storms have special weather statements issued for them for gusty winds but nothing is severe at this time. Hopefully we just get some rain!
I suspect that after this band of rain and storms coming in from the south moves in, our severe threat for the rest of the day will diminish (it’s already a low-end threat, even before these storms get here).
Be careful if out and about today. If you encounter one of these heavier downpours they can put down a lot of rain in a short period of time. I’ll keep an eye on things!
