Tornado Watch Until 3 AM



Our overnight event has begun. 

8:37 - And we've got a strong thunderstorm near Harvest below severe limits. Be interesting to see if it does anything later when it merges with the main squall line. 

We still have a Tornado Warning for Wayne County (TN) and a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Lauderdale and Colbert Counties. 


And we've got more supercell thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes back across the MS line. 


9 PM - A tornado warning remains in effect for Wayne County for the next 15 minutes. Northwestern Lauderdale and Colbert Counties remain under a severe thunderstorm warning. 

That goes until 9:30 CDT. For 60 mph wind gusts. 

Sometimes weak rotation has shown up in those storms, but to the trained eye, this is probably straight-line winds in Colbert/Lauderdale Counties. 

9:05 - And all those green polygons are Flash Flood Warnings. Covers most of Tennessee, and they're still having some issues up in Kentucky. Definitely don't be out driving through any flooded roads. It's Saturday night. Some people might try.
