NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Storm 5 Alert will go into effect Wednesday for our viewing area in both Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky.
The alert starts at noon and runs until Thursday at 7 a.m.
This storm — which could come in two waves — has the potential for damaging 70 mph winds, 1 inch of quarter-size hail, flooding and isolated tornadoes. The first wave will depend on how the second wave plays out.

Round 2: Midnight Wednesday through 7 a.m. Thursday
Two waves of storms are expected starting Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning. Both waves will bring a primary threat of 60 mph & hail up to 1". A couple of tornado warnings are also possible. Flooding will be a concern since everything is so saturated.
