Nice Weekend Alert!

Well, That Was Close
Too much cloud cover this morning, insufficient dew points, and unidirectional wind profiles are among the reasons we didn’t gett tornadic storms today. They were very close. That storm to our SW, then S, was rotating pretty well (it may have dropped a tornado, NWS will confirm later), although it did lose its oomph when it got closer to I-65.
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Until 10PM

NEW Mesoscale Discussion – Issued at 3:48PM CT
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a “mesoscale discussion” that borders Davidson and Williamson Counties. Here’s a snippet:
In short, our area will likely be placed under some sort of severe weather watch very soon. Damaging winds are the primary risks, although large hail and an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. Instability is limited and looks to remain that way for the rest of the day.

Now: Strong/Severe Storms Approaching – As of 3PM 75°
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a “mesoscale discussion” that borders Davidson and Williamson Counties. Here’s a snippet:
In short, our area will likely be placed under some sort of severe weather watch very soon. Winds are close, but not quite where they need to be for a robust tornado threat. However, surface heating and dewpoints continue to rise.
Threat Reduced, But Still There. Hail, Winds Biggest Threat Later.
Current Radar
Today: PM Severe Weather Possible – High 74°
We’ve been covered by clouds this morning, which has prevented storm-making destabilization.
The winds, while strong, are largely unidirectional, which does not support large, tilted updrafts necessary for terrible weather.
Hail, Tornadoes, Damaging Winds Possible Late Afternoon/Evening
Current Radar
Today: PM Severe Weather Possible – 9AM 64° High 74°
Today’s Take-Away: Whether you will be at work this afternoon/evening, at an event, or at home, have a severe weather plan ready. Use multiple reliable sources to get any warnings that may be issued and stay up-to-date on any developments later today.
What to Know About the Storm Potential for Tomorrow
Current Radar
With our first round of rain, we could begin to see scattered rain showers as early 10 PM. Most of the heavy constant rainfall won’t begin until after midnight. We expect a wet morning commute:
