SEVERE WEATHER ALERT 3-24-2023
Ok let’s barrel right into this so you have plenty of time to prepare, because, well Mother Nature likes to show up at our door late at night on a Friday.
- Expect High Wind Warnings this afternoon to be issued
- There is a possibility of a Flood Watch being issued later in the day also for parts of Middle Tennessee.
- Right now we are a 2 of 5 on the severity scale according to NWS
- Straight-line winds will definitely be the concern, but, can’t rule out the tornado risk
- Timing for Middle Tennessee: 9 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.
- The severity will be dependent on how much instability we get in the atmosphere. Simply put the higher the temperature and humidity, the greater the severe chance.
- There will probably be a round of strong storms coming thru most areas later this morning thru early afternoon. This will not be the main event. Depending on how much instability they suck out of the atmosphere will have a great effect on what we see this evening.
- Good news, your weekend looks pretty decent.
