Today  Severe Thunderstorms Watch Until 8 PM – High 91

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop as we progress throughout the day, and into the evening. This has prompted a Severe Thunderstorm Watch:

Remember, a severe thunderstorm watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. You should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes (although we don’t think they will today).

Primary threats include:

1. scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible, and

2. scattered large hail events 1.5″ in diameter possible.

There are no concerns about tornadoes at this time.

Note we will never post any Warnings to this website. You can find them @NashSevereWx on Twitter. You are also encouraged to consult multiple sources for severe weather information.

The Hydrometerological Prediction Center is forecasting upwards of 2 inches of rain from 7 AM this morning to 7 AM tomorrow morning.

We think 2″ is an overestimate, but in any case, we should get a good soaking.

Hopefully this makes up for me not watering your gardens last week 😉
