East Tennessee Weather II

[rocktopper16]

Here’s my deal. Monday is suppose to be worse than today. So does that mean tornado watches will be in effect?

Saw any reports of a possibile touchdown?

Looks to me it wasn’t having enough lift too.

Only thing I've seen from spotters is funnel cloud reports.

I can’t wait to hear reports on it. Literally was scared. I never heard the siren. And when I did it wasn’t as loud as it should be. The like whistling

~Severe Weather Alert~

There's an Enhanced risk for Severe thunderstorms in the southwest portion of East TN (Chattanooga, Soddy Daisy, Cleveland, etc) and most of Middle TN. There's a Slight risk for Strong to Severe thunderstorms in West TN and a few additional areas in the Southern Valley and Plateau (Athens, Etowah, Crossville, ect). There's a Marginal risk for Strong to Severe thunderstorms for the rest of the Southern Valley and the Central Valley.

Primary Risks:

Enhanced = Damaging winds in excess of 60 mph, large hail up to Half Dollar size (may see some isolated larger sizes), and a few tornadoes are possible (with a strong tornado or 2 possible as well)

Slight = Damaging winds up to 60 mph, large hail up to quarter size, an isolated tornado or 2 can't be ruled out.

Marginal = Same as Slight, but tornado threat will be near zero.


Timing:

Monday afternoon into the evening hours.

Standard temperature and pressure?

Yes. I wasn’t familiar with that acronym.

I'm a fan of weatherbug. It's got a good radar.

Side note:

When I post the "Severe Weather Alert and Bulletin", they are not official forecasts. Those are my first initial thoughts on an upcoming storm system.

Here's a good graphic from Morristown as far as severe threats currently on the table and timing.

That is like the majority of Nashville and the central TN area. Memphis and Knoxville are outside the enhanced area it would seem.

Morristown has now confirmed that there was a tornado on highway 68 between Tellico and Coker Creek. It's believed to be an EF-0 tornado with winds around 85 mph.

They will either put it on their front page or on their Facebook. David Aldrich shared this on his Facebook page.

This is strictly an observation, but I'm seeing some similarities with this upcoming system to the one that devastated Middle and Southeast TN back in April 10, 2009. I hope I'm wrong about that.
