The areas of extreme NE MS that had no activity with multiple high risk days a few weeks back is getting blasted by a large tornado tonight (although there was no/marginal risk in these areas just a few hours ago). Looks like the SPC blew it today in MS.

~Severe Weather Alert~

There is a Slight Risk for strong to severe thunderstorms for the western 2/3rds of East TN (along and west of Morristown). There is a marginal risk for everywhere else.

Timing:

In addition to the isolated storms happening right now, there will be a line of storms moving through late morning. There could be another round in the evening, but the threat is conditional.

Hazards:

Damaging winds in excess of 60 mph and large hail up to half dollar size are possible. An isolated tornado can't be ruled out, though the chances are very low.

Y'all hold onto your ass down there. Hearing 10 dead so far, and all that is going to try to come over the mountains. If it pans out like that, it will have to come down the mountain as well.

Did forecasters predict the rain that Middle TN got?

No, but I'll take that as confirmation. That was/is an Unusual storm. When they hit north like that, they are especially unknown. There is a Latitude that makes these storms become North Atlantic storms, and then they restrengthen. When they hit this area they are CONVERGENCE areas. It makes them unpredictable, but more wet usually. In this case it came together as it entered NY, and it is especially dangerous then, Because it comes in over the flat bay, with no friction. We learned that with Sandy.

Heads up!

We need to keep an eye on the remnants of Hurricane Ida when it gets closer to here on Tuesday. With us being on the right quadrant of the system with it's current track, there is a decent chance for isolated tornadoes. Obviously, there's still a lot of uncertainty, and the tornado threat will largely depend on the track of the system and how much instability will be present.

Some of the areas at risk have already been hit so hard with flash flooding this year.

That is definitely another threat that we need to watch for. I expect that at least areas along and west of interstate 75 will be getting a flash flood watch issued sometime tomorrow.

There is a marginal risk for strong to severe thunderstorms for all of East TN on Tuesday.

Timing:

Early afternoon into the early evening hours.

Primary hazards:

Flash flooding is likely, especially west of interstate 75, with 2-4+ inches of rain.
A few isolated tornadoes are possible, with the greatest chances being in the southern valley and plateau.
