Special Statement

Statement as of 10:42 AM CDT on May 21, 2013

Expires 8:00 PM EDT on May 21, 2013


... Torrential rain and strong to severe storms possible...

Areas of thunderstorms have already developed across the mid
Mississippi Valley area and the Southern Plains. One of these
thunderstorm complexes will move into middle Tennessee from late
morning through the afternoon hours. The main threats with these
storms will be torrential rainfall and wind gusts to 45mph.
Scattered storms will continue through this afternoon and
evening... and an isolated severe storm or two cannot be ruled out.

However... the best chance for strong to severe storms will be
mainly towards dawn Wednesday as severe storms develop over the
Southern Plains this afternoon and March eastward overnight. A
line of strong to severe storms is expected to approach middle
Tennessee very late tonight into the early morning hours on
Wednesday... with strong winds and torrential rainfall being the
main threats. Isolated large hail cannot be ruled out... and at
this time... a tornado threat looks very low. It should be
emphasized that any thunderstorms that affect middle Tennessee
today... tonight and Wednesday will not nearly be as significant as
what occurred yesterday in Oklahoma.

The best chance for severe weather will be between roughly 3am and
8am near the Tennessee River... with storms weakening as they move
further east. A threat for strong storms will still exist
throughout the day Wednesday before the storm system pushes
through the region.
