In Depth:
It may be August, but Mother Nature missed the memo as a spring pattern will continue to bring threats for severe weather to the Mid-South Sunday. As more strong to severe storms are possible and all of the NewsChannel 5 viewing area is once again under a risk for severe weather, we are calling for a Storm 5 Alert from 3pm Sunday – 8pm Sunday.
It’s important to note that all of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky are under a risk for severe weather. Much of the area is under a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5), but most of the Mid-State is under a Slight Risk (2 out of 5) for severe weather.
The threat with any storms will be a repeat of Saturday with heavy downpours that could produce flash flooding, damaging wind, small hail, and while extremely low we cannot rule out entirely the chance for a isolated tornado.
Much of the day will be hot and humid, but by mid-afternoon we expect to see storms moving into the western parts of the NewsChannel 5 viewing area then moving through for much of the afternoon and evening. Storms should exit around 8pm Sunday.
