Southeast Severe Storms

Christopher Nunley

This is a brief post, but I want to mention the chance of severe thunderstorms this afternoon into the evening hours across the Southeast. A complex of thunderstorms is beginning to intensify across northwestern Tennessee at this hour. This complex should continue to strengthen as it propagates towards the southeast.

This will place northeastern Alabama, central and eastern Tennessee, and northern Georgia in a favorable location to see damaging winds and large hail later today as the atmosphere continues to become more unstable with afternoon heating. The Storm Prediction Center has an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms for the aforementioned areas this afternoon/evening.
