East Tennessee Weather II

From the NWS.... Increasing possibility of a significant severe weather event
View attachment 727359

A couple of the big uncertainties is how much if any storms do we see overnight Friday into Saturday morning, and how much instability will we have in East TN.

Something that concerns me is if those uncertainties are resolved in the worst case (meaning sufficient instability and not much in the way of morning storms), it could be extremely bad.

Think the southern 2 rows of counties bordering Bama and Georgia might have some serious issues Saturday....

(And more if worse case plays out)

/~\Severe Weather Outbreak/~\

There is an Enhanced Risk for strong to severe thunderstorms for the southwestern half of East TN (from Sevier, Knox, Union, Campbell County and areas south and west) and a Slight Risk for NE Tennessee on Saturday.

Timing: Saturday afternoon into Saturday night

Impacts: Widespread damaging to potentially destructive winds in excess of 70mph is the primary threat. Large hail and a few tornadoes are also possible.

There's still some uncertainty with regards to instability and timing, but we should start to get a much better picture of what we will see in the next 24 hours or so once high resolution short range models come into range.
