TENNESSEE — A strong cold front is set to barrel across Tennessee, Kentucky and northern Alabama Sunday night, bringing the threat of damaging wind gusts up to 75 mph within a fast-moving line of storms.
Forecasters indicate no major changes to the forecast as of this morning. The primary concern remains widespread damaging straight-line winds, though an embedded tornado threat cannot be ruled out.
75 MPH Wind Gusts Possible in Storm Line
The severe weather outlook places much of central and western Tennessee — including Nashville, Clarksville, Columbia and surrounding communities — under an Enhanced Risk for Sunday evening.
Impacts expected include:
- Damaging wind gusts exceeding 70 mph
- Scattered tree and power line damage
- Isolated structural damage
- Brief, embedded tornado potential
The tornado risk is described as lower than the wind threat but remains present within the squall line.
