I forgot to mention that middle TN and the plateau do have a chance to see a strong tornado (EF2 or greater) or 2.

Update:

No changes in the severe risk overnight or this morning. The timing is still a little bit of a question mark, but it does appear to arrive in the plateau sometime around 4 PM EST, with the central valley and everywhere else between 5 and 6 PM.

Sounds like a tornado watch for parts of the valley will be issued soon.

If you live in Campbell County especially North of La Follette, you need to take shelter immediately! There is a tornado on the ground with this storm.

When these outbreaks occur it really brings into focus the number of radar holes there are across the country.
