Sat May 10, 08 - risk of severe storms tonight in Mid-TN


The Storm Prediction Center has designated Mid-TN as 'moderate' for severe weather on Sat, May 10, 08. Probably tonight.

From the SPC:

THE COMBINATION OF THE MODERATE INSTABILITY...40-60 KT OF EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR AND RELATIVELY STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR INDICATES THE POTENTIAL FOR INTENSE SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF TORNADOES /SOME SIGNIFICANT/...VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS FOCUSED PRIMARILY ALONG WARM FRONT AND EVENTUALLY ALONG/AHEAD OF DRYLINE.

The severe threat is moreso for AR, and northern MS & AL.
Sounds like fun.
UPDATE: 5:49 pm CDT, Sat May 10
Here's a GRLevel2 Radar shot of a tornadic thunderstorm approaching Jonesboro, AR
Will update through the night
