NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The Storm Prediction Center continues a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) for strong storms in our southeastern counties. The timing of storms is from as early 9 a.m. through about 5 p.m. on Tuesday.
The 7 a.m. Tuesday update from the SPC has reduced this Marginal Risk even more across southeast Middle Tennessee.
FORECAST: Middle Tennessee & Southern KentuckyWeather
The severe risk is overall low, but not zero. If a severe storm develops, the primary concern will be damaging wind gusts. But, an isolated tornado is possible. The heavy rain threat has been focused with the rain on Tuesday morning.
The key for the possible severe storm development is the warm front moving into our region this morning. As the warm front moves in, it brings increasing low-level moisture and wind shear to favor possible severe storms. This can also aid in the isolated tornado risk. So the storm threat is possible as early as 9 a.m. and then ending late afternoon. The rest of our area will see rain and gusty winds. Cold front sweeping through Tuesday afternoon, leading to colder air on Wednesday.
Over the next 24 hours there could be anywhere from half an inch to over an inch of rainfall. The morning commute on Tuesday will be the widespread wettest timeframe.
Temperatures take a big tumble from Tuesday to Wednesday. Winds will turn to the northwest Tuesday evening with colder air filtering in through the day Wednesday. Highs will be in the 40s on Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving will be cold but dry! Highs in the 40s!
