East Tennessee Weather II

The strength of these storms depend on how quick this cap we have currently erodes later on. The best chances for severe weather will be in Southeast KY and Southwest Virginia. I'm keeping my eye on Monday, as some portions of the Southern Valley and Middle TN may see a significant severe weather event.

Do you think East Tennessee will get hit hard Monday?
 
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will likely be issued for the northern half of East Tennessee in the next hour or two. Knox County may or may not be in the watch, but it'll be close enough for folks in Knoxville to keep an eye on the sky tonight. Areas south of I-40 will likely not be included in the watch
