Message summary: ...severe thunderstorms possible this afternoon and thursday
night...
An upper level disturbance will swing across the area tonight...which
should lead to the development of thunderstorms across the region
late this afternoon and evening. Some of the storms may become
severe especially over southeast tennessee...central east
tennessee...and extreme southwest virginia...with the main threats
being damaging winds and large hail. An isolated tornado also
cannot be ruled out.
A greater potential for severe storms will occur thursday night
ahead of a strong cold front. As an area of low pressure crosses
the ohio valley...a strong south to southwest wind will develop
thursday afternoon...and temperatures will rise into the lower 70s
in the tennessee valley. The warm moist air and gusty southerly
winds will generate strong to severe thunderstorms late thursday
evening...moving east across the area through the early morning
hours friday. Damaging straight line winds are expected to be the
main threat...with a potential for some tornadoes as well.
Since the main threat of severe weather is expected to arrive
after sunset thursday night...residents of east tennessee and
southwest virginia are urged to maintain a high level of
awareness. Stay tuned to noaa weather radio and other local media
for further details or updates.
