NWS confirmed that the Tornado that hit Sunbright was an EF-1, with winds of 110 mph.

More of the watch has been cancelled. Only the central valley is in the watch, but I fully expect it to be cancelled all together in the next 15-20 minutes.

Update: Northeast TN has been removed from the Tornado Watch. Still a small chance for a strong to severe storm in the valley, but the severe threat is winding down.

Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Tornado Watch has been issued for all of East TN until 2:00 AM EST.

If you live in Campbell County especially North of La Follette, you need to take shelter immediately! There is a tornado on the ground with this storm.

Another update has been issued for the tornado warning.

A Tornado watch will likely be issued soon.

Update on Tornado Warning!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone is reporting a tornado touchdown on Pilot Mountain in Morgan County.

ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update: No changes in the severe risk overnight or this morning. The timing is still a little bit of a question mark, but it does appear to arrive in the plateau sometime around 4 PM EST, with the central valley and everywhere else between 5 and 6 PM.

I forgot to mention that middle TN and the plateau do have a chance to see a strong tornado (EF2 or greater) or 2.

~Severe Weather Alert~ There is an Enhanced risk for strong to severe thunderstorms for just about all of East TN except the Tri-Cities (which has a slight risk) for tomorrow. Timing: Late afternoon into the evening. This could still change. Hazards: - Damaging winds in excess of 60 mph is...

GBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously it's not 100% of the time, but when the SPC issues areas of concern for severe weather beyond day 3, there is usually a pretty good chance to see hard hitting severe storms.
