Update on Wednesday storms:
There hasn’t been much of a change in the forecast for our area for tomorrow. The main threats are still damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. We think these threats are highest for areas west of I-65, but all of Middle TN could see severe weather.
Even before storms arrive there will be very strong wind gusts out of the south. Now, yes, right now, is the time to start securing loose outdoor items. Gusts up to 50 mph before storms arrive, when it’s still sunny outside, can certainly make a mess of that cute outdoor living space you’ve arranged. And we don’t want that! More importantly, lightweight outdoor objects could actually cause damage to windows and cars if left unsecured with the winds we’re expecting tomorrow. So strap ’em down. These gusty winds may also make travel difficult for high profile vehicles and could cause some tree damage with the highest gusts.
Now let’s talk about storm timing. Storms could move across the Tennessee River as early as 4PM and continue moving east to the Cumberland Plateau through 1AM. Unfortunately, this does mean that it will be dark when storms are impacting at least a portion of our area. Keep those weather radios turned on and your phone volume turned up in case a warning is issued while you sleep. See the map below for more information on timing.
As our highest resolution models come in tonight, our forecast details could change. So stay tuned for more updates here, on Twitter, or at www.weather.gov/nashville.
