It was a rough night Tennesseans. Unfortunately, it’s not over. Expect strong to severe storms to fire back up throughout the day. Tornadoes, large hail, strong winds are all possible. In addition, more “trains of rain” will lead to catastrophic flooding throughout the mid-state.
Tornado Watch ends at 8 this morning. Possibly could be another one today. Just be aware all the way through Sunday.
We will catch a small break tomorrow, and then severe weather will ramp back up Saturday. It will be Monday before we dry back out, and temps will drop Sunday. We will update the weekend outlook this afternoon.
