There is a low to slight chance of Severe Storms in Middle Tennessee this afternoon and evening. Straight-line winds and heavy downpours are the immediate threat. The farther South of I-40 you go the bigger the threat. Also, those in low-lying areas should be aware of localized flooding potential as 1″-2″ are expected to fall overnight. Timing for the worst of it between 5:00 p.m. -1:00 a.m.
More seasonal temperatures and drier air return in time for NYE celebrations, along with windy conditions so drag the coats back out.
