NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Strong storms are possible across the region Thursday morning before another round comes in the afternoon into the evening.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed nearly all of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky under a Marginal Risk (1/5) for strong storms through 6 a.m. Thursday. Also, Southern KY is under a Slight Risk (level 2/5). The next round of storms comes in the afternoon and evening with a Marginal Risk (1/5) for strong storms along Interstate 40 and north.
The risks will be wind gusts, hail, heavy rain, and an isolated tornado. There has already been a tornado warning this morning in Central Kentucky. This afternoon, any storm that gets going could have strong winds, heavy rain, and the tornado threat is not zero.
A line of storms is moving through Central Kentucky and tornado warnings have been triggered on the leading edge. This is staying north of Southern Kentucky but this shows the atmosphere is primed for strong storms as this line moves through.
This afternoon strong storms come in once again with a cold front pushing through. Storms could start as early as 2 p.m. but become more widespread by 4 and 5 p.m.. Storms continue to push south of I-40 until 9 p.m.
Expect more rain Saturday into Sunday, followed by much colder air next week! We’ll continue to follow the severe weather risk.
