As far as which watch we're going to see issued today, I'm leaning towards Severe Thunderstorm Watch right now, as the straight line winds up to 70-80 mph will be the biggest threat. Large hail up to golf ball size and a few tornadoes are possible, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get a Tornado Watch instead.

Here's the latest front the NWS in Morristown. When they say that a strong Tornado can't be ruled out, they are talking about an EF-2 or stronger tornado.

I'm here on Wilson Road, in Knoxville. There's thunder in the distance, but it sounds like it's quickly moving my way.
