NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — With many events being postponed Saturday with the threat of strong to severe storms, we are calling for a Storm 5 Alert thanks to a strong cold front set to move through the area this weekend.
Watch the latest Storm 5 Alert coverage in the player above.
After several days of mild temperatures, we are tracking a strong cold front that will bring the threat of strong to severe storms on Saturday afternoon and evening. All of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky are at a risk for severe storms, with the majority of the NewsChannel 5 viewing area under a Slight Risk (2 out of 5) for severe storms.
The primary concern with any storms will be damaging wind, but small hail and a very low chance of tornadoes cannot be entirely ruled out.
Storm timing looks to get going around 3 p.m. Saturday, with storms diminishing and a cold rain lingering after midnight.
One way to stay ahead of the storms is by downloading the free NewsChannel 5 Storm Shield App.
The line ''see something, say something" took on new meaning recently in Bowling Green. Two alert neighbors helped tip police to stolen Corvettes from the nearby assembly plant. That led law enforcement to find 8 stolen Corvettes worth over $1 million. We may all be able to learn a little lesson from this.
