Ok, finally stop and take a breath. Here’s what we know and don’t know:
- Friday- There is still a possibility of strong to severe storms Friday afternoon, so just be weather aware. Winds will be very gusty.
- Friday night- everyone should be able to sleep peacefully
- Saturday thru Sunday- This could be some of the worst weather we have seen so far. Right now at the publishing of this article we are at a level 2 for severe weather. I expect that to change. Why? High temps on Saturday around 80. High temps on Sunday 60s. This cold front will definitely bring flooding and the severe threat is all based on timing. As we get closer we will update.
- I know everyone is a bit burned out running back and forth to their closets in Middle Tennessee.Just be smart and weather aware Friday, don’t let your guard down.
