...Severe thunderstorms possible this evening...
A strong cold front will approach the area from the west tonight. Ahead of this front temperatures will warm into the upper 70s to lower 80s this afternoon creating unstable conditions across the region. Thunderstorms are expected to form in west and middle
Tennessee this afternoon and these storms will track into the Cumberland Plateau and Tennessee valley this evening. Some of the storms could reach severe limits...with the main threat being large damaging hail. An isolated tornado will also be possible. The time of the greatest threat appears to be between 6 pm and midnight.
Stay tuned to NOAA weather radio and other local media for further details or updates.

Great! my son has a play this evening and it is outdoors...guess I'll have to bring an umbrella. And for anyone interested, CCA is performing The Grapes Of Wrath tonight and Thursday night. Tickets are $5 and I believe the show starts at either 7 or 7:30. This is an outside production, so bring lawn chairs (unless you don't mind sitting on the grass) and sweaters, light jackets, umbrellas, etc.
