East Tennessee Weather

I meant to ask if it would be PDS in the east. Apologies for not clarifying.

It's alright. IMO, I don't think there will be a PDS attached to the watch that will be issued in the evening.

Halfway to the beach from Knox around Birmingham and no issues a couple of spotty showers looks like we picked a good time to go

Ditto. Honestly, its better than most of the local folks.

...although I'm not sure what I'll do this winter without Ella Dorsey mangling town names.

It's not missing us. That much I can say with 100% certainty.

What time do you think it will hit east tn? I'm driving back from South FL for the holidays and should be around the NC/TN border around 3am or so. Hope I can miss everything going through the mountain.

When was the last time a tornado outbreak was possible on Christmas Day? This is ridiculous.

Those cells look like they are developing gust fronts, which means the rotation is going away.
