STORM 5 ALERT Friday 1 a.m. - 9 p.m.
TIMING: Overnight throughout Friday Evening
THREATS/IMPACTS: Damaging Wind Gusts, Flash Flooding, Quick spin-up tornado
CURRENT WATCHES: Flood Watch 7 p.m. - Saturday 7 a.m.
Helene will bring a risk for damaging winds, isolated flash flooding and quick spin-up tornadoes starting overnight tonight throughout Friday night. Thankfully, we are not on the front right quadrant (which is known for numerous spin-up tornadoes)... However, this is still a tropical system so a quick spin-up cannot be ruled out.
Main concerns continue to focus on damaging wind gusts and localized flooding.
Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
