Scattered Showers & Storms

Forecast: 
Today: Scat'd Storms, Gusty Wind Possible | High: 77 | S 5-10 (20)
Tonight: Mostly Cloudy, Isolated Shower | Low: 62 | S 5-10

In Depth:
Scattered storms will bring a risk for damaging wind and hail through the evening commute

The Storm Prediction Center placed 26 counties in Middle Tennessee under a severe thunderstorm watch. Hail and straight-line winds are the primary threats.

Widespread, long-lasting severe storms are not expected. This is not a storm system like May 8. However, this will likely impact the drive home with storms along Interstate 65 around 5 p.m.

Storms will also bring lightning and a risk for strong wind to areas hard hit last week is possible. Storm cleanup crews working this afternoon will need to stay safe.

The Storm Prediction Center has us some of Middle Tennessee in a Level 2 risk for severe storms, while other parts are just in a Level 1.

Thursday looks to be the driest day, with on-and-off rain chances through the weekend.
