NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — 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.
Every night, Forrest Sanders brings us stories showcasing the best of humanity. This story profiles, perhaps, Tennessee's most eccentric resident who made an impact on an aspiring journalist. I'm always in awe of Forrest's storytelling; I truly appreciated his vulnerability with this one.
