We need to be weather-aware through the rest of the afternoon and into the evening. A cold front will be moving across Tennessee, leading to a risk for storms, some of which could be severe. An isolated tornado can’t be ruled out.
The Storm Prediction Center issued a special statement saying there’s a 40% chance for a severe t-storm watch being issued this afternoon. It just depends on how much cloud cover holds in place this afternoon. If we get any sun, that will destabilize the atmosphere and increase the chances for severe storms. If clouds can hold, our chances stay lower.
A flash flood threat continues through today, as well.
My concern is unchanged from this morning. I’ll keep you posted on this.
The hourly forecast is right on track. I didn’t have to change a thing since this morning’s update.
Everything is still on track with this graphic, as well. All threats are low, but certainly not zero. The flash flood threat is of medium concern.
I’ll keep an eye on things through the day and evening and let you know if there’s anything you need to know about!

12:35 Update: The Storm Prediction Center has issued a special discussion that includes parts of the plateau. They are considering a severe t-storm watch. There’s a special NWS briefing at 1:00 that I’ll listen in on.
Storms this afternoon and evening could be severe.
This will be the first event where I get to try out the new MM Concern Meter! See how my concern changes throughout the day!
MM’s Wx Analysis
An unseasonably strong storm system (more like a late spring system) will bring rain and storms to the Ohio and TN valleys today. Severe storms, including the risk for tornadoes, and flash flooding are all threats that this region will face have to watch out for today.
Stay tuned for my coverage in the coming months of the Nancy Grace Roman telescope and the launch of Crew-13! I’ll be down at the Space Coast with my NASA press pass covering it all for ya!

MM’s Wx Summary
I’ll have this updated in the morning, as well. Right now I’m most concerned with severe storms in the afternoon hours. If you have outdoor plans, just be prepared in case a storm blows up. Some of you may not see anything in the afternoon, while others may see a potent storm.
Confidence is looking good for the five day forecast. The only question I have right now concerns storm coverage and intensity for Saturday afternoon and evening.
MM’s Wx Analysis
My threat levels remain unchanged from this morning’s update. I’ll have a fresh update on this in the morning. I feel confident that these threat levels will change very little, if any.
I’ll be using my concern meter for the first time tomorrow! You’ll be able to see if I’m feeling better, worse, or staying the same through the day.
Saturday’s weather map is a busy one! Heavy rain and severe storms affect an area from the Gulf Coast to Chicago.
The jet stream has stayed consistent in the model data for the past several model runs. Strong winds aloft and warm, humid air here at the surface could lead to severe storms Saturday afternoon.
I did a modeled weather balloon launch for the plateau for Saturday afternoon and the most concerning thing to me is the bit of wind shear that we’ll have. That could be just enough for an isolated spin-up tornado.
