Flash Flood Warnings (TN)

5:54 AM - The brown polygons are the flash flood warnings. 

Looking at this severe thunderstorm warning (yellow-orange) that includes Murfreesboro and Smyrna. Whether there is a tornado trying to form here or not (same storm that came through Spring Hill and Thompson's Station, I think Columbia before that), these winds look fierce. And wind gusts even to 60 mph are dangerous. So I'd stay in a good safe place - small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor of a sturdy house. 

6:05 AM - Looks like things are finally starting to wind down in Tennessee, where the severe stuff is moving up into Kentucky overall and they're going into more of a flash flooding threat. So think I'm going to call it a night and drop the severe weather coverage. I really didn't plan on doing it anyway. I just tracked that storm from Wayne County, and things kept being crazy. And I just rode with it. Some people I knew were in the path of one of the tornadoes too. So that had something to do with it. Everybody's okay. But that was a crazy few hours. 

6:10 - And I guess that'll teach me to speak too soon. Got another severe thunderstorm warning training over the same basic area as a while ago. No signs of tornadoes with either of these severe thunderstorm warning polygons, just straight-line winds up to 60 mph and hail about the size of quarters possible here. 

Any rotation in these storms looks broad. But if you want to shelter again for these storms, you won't get a fight out of me. It's been a long, crazy night. And it's really not a bad idea to shelter for a few minutes for a severe thunderstorm warning anyway. A lot of people ignore them. But those are issued when the storms might be a threat to life and property, beyond a regular thunderstorm or even a stronger thunderstorm. Winds of at least 58 mph or hail at least an inch in diameter. 

And I used the Huntsville/Hytop radar for those. But I switched to Nashville/Old Hickory radar and the rotation didn't really look better. I think these are just producing damaging straight line winds like the NWS issued warnings for. 

Today's severe weather risk is nowhere near what yesterday's was. Though some supercells in West TN, Arkansas, Northern Mississippi, back into parts of Texas and Oklahoma could produce really large hail again. 

And there's a basic 15% risk of severe hail and damaging winds for much of Tennessee and Kentucky too, stretching up into the Virginias. 

The tornado threat is definitely on the low end for even the Western half of Tennessee, and if we see a zone for more significant tornado damage today/tonight, it's mainly going to be over the Southern half of Arkansas, where you see that 10% hatched area defined. 

Overall the severe thunderstorm threat for North Alabama or Southern Middle Tennessee is very low later today. Middle Tennessee might see another round, but even if so, it'll be a basic threat for severe thunderstorms with large hail and damaging winds, a lower risk of isolated tornadoes. It won't be the relentless tornado threat we saw overnight tonight/this morning. 

So I'll try to get a really detailed forecast done this evening or tonight. 

For now . . . 

We'll have partly to mostly sunny skies around Cullman and North Alabama today and tomorrow, Highs in the mid-80's, Lows in mid-60's. It'll be breezy. 

And the weather will likely be similar during the day Saturday. 

But then Saturday night the front gets moving. We'll at least see heavy rain but may see some severe thunderstorms. 

Looks like the more organized stuff will stay to our West during the day, but then we'll get some potential for severe thunderstorms at night. 

Rain is likely to continue into Sunday with a High in the lower 70's, Low in lower 60's. 

Then skies will turn partly to mostly sunny again Monday with the High struggling to even reach 60 degrees, some sharply cooler air behind this front. The morning Low should be in the 40's. 

Tuesday and Wednesday look sunny. The High Tuesday near 60 again with a Low near 40. And then Wednesday the Low may start the day well down in the 30's, about mid-30's, and then we warm up to about the upper 60's or at least mid-60's for the afternoon. 

So more pleasant weather is on the way. This is an unusual pattern we're in, in the meantime. 

6:38 AM - And now we have ANOTHER possible tornado coming out of Hohenwald, TN. This is getting hard to believe. 

7 AM - But the warning was allowed to expire on time as the rotation weakened. 

And I'm signing off finally.

New Tornado Warning Including Nashville

 Again you have to respect the warnings tonight. The storms in this line have a history. This spun up quickly but still, take it seriously. 

3:39 - Sounds like places like Vanderbilt and downtown Nashville are in the path of this possible tornado. Really anywhere in the polygon should be sheltered. We can try to guess all night where a funnel might be in contact with the ground, but they draw these large polygons for a reason. 

3:40 - And here's another overlapping Tornado Warning polygon that does include Nashville but stretches down through Brentwood all the way down to Franklin and Nolensville. It is the wee dark hours of the morning, and we are relying on radar. So respect these warning polygons. Don't try to guess exactly where these messy velocity signatures are going. Just take shelter. 

3:43 - Northwest Alabama may start to see some issues within the next hour roughly. If that happens, I'll shift my focus closer to the home front. I just got carried away with these supercells that started in Southern Middle Tennessee but then tracked all the way across the state. 

3:45 - And we've got another tornadic supercell coming up on Centerville. 

3:50 - Here's a better look at that rotation near Centerville, looks a little Southeast of there. Moving Northeast. This storm does have a history. 

3:52 - The NWS Huntsville is watching this broken line of supercells carefully. Far Northwest Alabama could have some issues within the next hour or so. It's a close call. 

3:59 - And we've got warnings all the way from Gallatin back to Savannah, including overlapping tornado warnings for the city of Nashville. This is one crazy setup tonight. 

4:12 AM - And now the main storm of concern, a new Tornado Warning for Maury, Williamson, Hickman and Davidson Counties. 

4:14 - This is a broad polygon, everyone from Fairview to Santa Fe and Thompsons Station, certainly up to Franklin, get to your shelter and stay there. Remember to protect your head in your shelter area - helmet if you've got one, but if not, something like a pillow or some blankets to pull over you. Protect your body, especially your head. 

4:18 - In other areas we have Severe Thunderstorm and Flash Flood Warnings. Those are important too, but tonight I'm focusing on tornadoes. 

4:20 - This storm coming in the direction of Franklin is developing a hook echo. Take cover if in the path. Or call somebody in the path if you think they're not awake. Gotta' respect these storms tonight. Several tornadoes have been confirmed earlier with this same system. Which never seems to run out of fuel tonight. 

4:28 - The rotation has really broadened out and weakened. But if you're around Franklin, definitely be sheltered. Really anywhere in the polygon, wouldn't hurt to stay in a good safe place. Because this is a dangerous storm regardless of where a tornado may be trying to spin back up. It's tough to know that exactly at night sometimes anyway. 

4:32 - Got a couple severe thunderstorm warnings too. One is coming out of Nashville, storms stretching all the way up to LaFayette. 

The other is moving through Hohenwald and has potential for hail up to ping pong ball sized hail. 

4:35 - Some weak rotation at times in that storm coming out of Hohenwald.

4:38 - Got two new Tornado Warnings. Let's show both of them. 

The first is coming from Franklin toward Brentwood and Rural Hill.

And the other is that storm coming from Hohenwald. That rotation tightened up in a hurry! 

People in Columbia, Santa Fe, be sheltered for this. Mount Pleasant is on the edge of the polygon, good idea to be sheltered there too just to be safe. 

And ultimately this possible tornado is headed for places like Spring Hill, Thompsons Station, and/or Franklin. 

So everybody in the path, I'd get to shelter and just stay there until things settle down. There is a lot going on right now, and some of these rotations are spinning up really fast within this broken line. 

4:45 AM - Here's a good look at the southern polygon so you can see who's in and who's out. People in Spring Hill/Thompson's Station are just outside this polygon but need to either be sheltered or watching this closely and ready to shelter. 

4:46 - And here's a look at the northernmost polygon that just came out. Even in Brentwood on the edge of the polygon, I would be in shelter, because tornadoes are tough to pinpoint at night, and they can change direction quickly. Respect the polygon. You've heard it a thousand times, but it's a truism. 

4:48 - About 20 minutes ago in Fairview, public reports a tree that fell on a home and a car. 

By the way, don't try to drive through flood waters up here either, if you have to get up early to drive to work. And of course nobody should try to drive through these Tornado Warning areas. 

4:51 - That's a fairly impressive couplet moving into Maury County. 

4:53 - The rotation between LaVergne and Rural Hill has weakened some. 

But I'd still stay sheltered in these storm polygons. Whether it ends up being a tornado or "just" really strong winds and large hail, these storms look fairly dangerous. 

4:56 - It's tough to say if this is a debris signature, but it is co-located with the velocity couplet. I'd take this storm very seriously. 

4:58 - Certainly people in Santa Fe stay sheltered. But really respect the whole polygon. 

4:59 - And that Northern storm has been continued to the Northeast as a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, with a note that there is some rotation and that a tornado could quickly develop. But the main threat is thought to be damaging wind gusts to 60 mph and one-inch-diameter hail. 

5:01 AM - Rotation is weakening at the moment within the remaining Tornado Warning polygon, the one affecting Maury, Williamson, and Hickman Counties. 

5:04 - Even for that severe thunderstorm warning, I'd stay in a good safe place. It's been a long night, and unfortunately we don't see the end in sight. The surface boundary has stalled, and storms keep training over the same areas. That's why we're already seeing so many flash flood warnings. 

5:07 - More trees reported down in Fairview within past half hour. 

5:08 - The signs of rotation in this tornado-warned storm keep looking weaker, then looking stronger again. I'd play it safe and stay sheltered if in the path of this polygon. 

5:11 - New warning coming out - folks in Spring Hill, Thompson's Station, be sheltered if you weren't before. 

5:14 - There's your polygon. Columbia, Spring Hill, Thompsons Station, Santa Fe, Triune, be in shelter. Cover your head. 

5:21 - Rotation is very impressive. Not seeing any clear debris on radar, but this could be on the ground. It's hard to tell at night or early dark hours. Everyone in the path of this, stay sheltered. The reflectivity is trying to hook around some too. 

After Spring Hill and Thompsons Station this is headed to Triune. 

5:35 - Actually now it looks like it's headed more toward Eagleville. Like I keep saying, tornadoes can change direction quickly. Some interesting wind signatures with this one. Even if there's not a tornado, those look like some fierce winds that moved through Spring Hill and Thompson's Station. 

Spring Hill, Triune, Eaglesville, stay sheltered for this. 

5:46 - Ok folks in Spring Hill and T Station, it's past you, it's been extended as a Severe Thunderstorm Warning that clips Murfreesboro and Rural Hill. I guess Smyrna is more in the bullseye of this storm, which is still showing some rotation. Main threat is damaging winds and quarter-sized hail though. 

5:49 - No more tornado warnings except for a storm moving up into Kentucky, which is so far outside our jurisdiction here, going to hand it off to folks up there. Got a few severe thunderstorm warnings, but for now, I'm going to make a new post just to post all the Flash Flood Warnings. Because there are a lot of them. These storms have tracked over the same basic areas, and the amount of rain that has fallen is just crazy.
