Severe weather is possible today, although the risk seems to be shifting further east.
A higher risk to the east doesn’t mean you should ignore the risk here. Risk area may be wrong. Storms don’t care where we draw these lines.

Storms are brewing tomorrow. They could be significant, damaging storms, but the forecast has uncertainties.
For a detailed breakdown from Charlie Neese, watch the Periscope he did at 8:30 PM tonight.
The lunchtime update from the Storm Prediction Center said the word “outbreak.” That’s not good. SPC mostly refers to the area to our south and southeast, and although our risk here isn’t as high as it is elsewhere, it still poses a very real, but conditional and uncertain, threat. Another update is not due from the SPC until after we go to bed

We will approach 80° today as southern winds pump warm, moist air into Middle Tennessee.

Update: Will requested more cowbell in this blog post, so.

“…I can feel it comin’ in the air tonight…”
One more day of calm, warm weather before another severe storm maker rolls through the southeast. Today you may notice a slight breeze from the south. This is Mother Nature getting to work on hotter temps and more moisture for our area.

Storms moving in tonight have a low chance of becoming severe this evening. *If* they do, large hail and damaging winds will be the main threats. The Storm Prediction Center sees this as a low end threat and has placed us in probability of 5% of hail/damaging winds.

It is going to rain Monday.
We think it’ll start in the morning.
The HRRR model predicts rain will start in the wee hours of Monday morning and last through the morning rush hour:

The GFS model agrees. It predicts a lot of rain in the morning.

Surface high pressure will move east today. This means south winds and warmer temps, about 10° to 15° higher than yesterday. Some clouds will be mixed in.

Clouds increase tonight ahead of the next rain system, due tomorrow.


…APRIL FOOLS.
Writer’s Note:
Today is the 15th Annual Southeast Severe Storms Symposium at Mississippi State University. Caroline and I are ferociously taking notes and learning more…hopefully to provide you with better discussions and products in the future!

After the active weather pattern we’ve seen this past week, we will finally be getting a few pleasant weather days.

Overnight, the Storm Prediction Center removed us from the “Moderate Risk” (4 of 5) and fell back to an “Enhanced Risk” (3 out of 5), and now, this morning at 8 AM, down to “Slight Risk” (2 out of 5) for damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes today.
