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.
My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
