Severe Statement

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING
HOURS ACROSS MUCH OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED MUCH OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE IN A
SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
LOCATIONS GENERALLY ALONG AND WEST OF A LAFAYETTE...TO
LEWISBURG...TO FAIRVIEW LINE HAVE THE BEST POTENTIAL OF EXPERIENCING
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. OTHER LOCATIONS TO THE EAST OF THIS LINE WILL
HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF EXPERIENCING STRONG THUNDERSTORMS.

LOW TO MID LEVEL WIND FIELDS WILL NOT BE AS STRONG AS ACROSS THE
MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS TONIGHT...
WHERE A MORE ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT COULD DEVELOP.
HOWEVER...ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE...ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED TO INCREASE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...AND WITH THE
ATMOSPHERE CONTINUING TO BE UNSTABLE...ALONG WITH THE EFFECTS OF
DAYTIME HEATING AND POSSIBLE WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
PASSAGES...AND A WARM FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE MID
STATE FROM NORTHERN ALABAMA TODAY...ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. MAIN CONCERNS WITH THESE
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE STRONG TO DAMAGING GUSTY
WINDS...HAIL...AS WELL AS BRIEF PONDING OF WATER ON AREA ROADWAYS
AND IN LOW LYING...POORLY DRAINED...AREAS.

THE WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE POSITIONED ACROSS SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. IT IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN STATIONARY ACROSS THIS AREA THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS...BEFORE MOVING NORTH ACROSS THE MID STATE DURING
THE EVENING HOURS.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND VISIT NASHVILLE'S NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE WEBSITE AT WEATHER.GOV/NASHVILLE FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DEVELOPING SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.
