NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — While everyone will have to face the very warm temperatures over the next few days, some areas will see a few strong to severe thunderstorms on Tuesday and again on Thursday. Our team of WKRN meteorologists has called for weather alerts on these two days.
We’ll first talk about Tuesday, and further down, a look at Thursday. For Tuesday, the Storm Prediction Center has placed a Slight Risk (level 2/5) along and just south of Interstate 40 areas, and northward into Southern Kentucky. Also, a Marginal Risk (level 2/5) for most of Middle Tennessee south of I-40.

The threat has increased slightly for our area in the last 24 hours. Due to daytime heating and temperatures in the 80s to near 90 and sufficient moisture, this will help storm development for Tuesday afternoon.
The primary storm threats will be damaging winds and hail. The tornado risk is very low, but not impossible.

The timing will occur from the afternoon to the evening hours for the storms to move through Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. This particular model shows most storms near and north of I-40, but there are storms possible in southern Middle Tennessee. Late evening and overnight, storm chances shift to mainly Southern Kentucky.

Rain chances are very low on Wednesday (low chance for Southern Kentucky with an isolated severe storm risk). However, Thursday through Friday, rain and storm chances become widespread, with an approaching cold front. A few more severe storms are possible on Thursday.

On Thursday, the Storm Prediction Center has all of our area under a Marginal Risk (level 1/5). The overall severe concern is for wind gusts and hail, but some heavy rain will fall in our area. Cannot rule out some minor flooding.
