I agree. Aside from the severe thunderstorms, localized flooding is definitely a concern.

Is this going to be a "training" type of rain? It looks like some of the models are keeping the line of storms parked right over east TN. I may be looking at it wrong though.

That's how I would describe it. A series of low pressure systems from the gulf will move NE into our area and cause off and on rain with some of the bands being heavy.

Alright, I've looked at the models and watched the local news stations and TWC. I'll release my final thoughts of what I think will happen when the NWS Storm Prediction Center releases their first day 1 outlook for Wednesday at 1 am.

Update for those in Middle and West Tennessee:

There's a good chance that the enhanced risk will upgrade to a moderate risk tomorrow. People in these areas really need to make sure they are prepared for tomorrow.

Update:

East TN has been upgraded to a Slight risk for Severe Thunderstorms. The main threat will be damaging winds in excess of 60 mph. A couple isolated tornadoes can't be ruled out.

Interesting. The local news stations and the NWS aren't saying that the tornado threat will be that great. Usually when TWC is the only one predicting something, I take it with a grain of salt.

Alert:

New Tornado watch for folks in and around Memphis until 8:00 PM CST. There is a PDS attached to this watch. If you're in this watch area, I highly recommend getting your closet or basement ready now before the storms hit.


For those who don't know what a PDS is, it stands for Particularly Dangerous Situation. It's only added to areas that have an extremely high risk for tornadoes and some intense tornadoes.

Don't have a closet or basement. I'll take my chances of getting in my vehicle and driving due south and east.
