THE TENNESSEE VALLEY-There is a potential for severe weather on Wednesday, December 23 for The Tennessee Valley. Strong possibly damaging winds ~60mph and large hail are possible, with a lesser chance for a tornado. There is still some uncertainty with Wednesday’s forecast. We will update the forecast as we get more information from the National Weather Service 
ALERT:
A SERIES OF SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT THE TENNESSEE VALLEY THIS WEEK…AND
BRING SEVERAL PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
THE GREATEST RISK FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT…AS A SURGE OF MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY MOVES NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. THERE REMAINS
CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY WITH THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY THAT WILL
BE REALIZED ACROSS THE REGION. IF CONVECTION NEAR THE GULF COAST
DOES NOT MATERIALIZE AND LESSENS THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE RETURN…
THERE WILL BE HEIGHTENED CHANCES FOR MORE WIDESPREAD STRONG AND
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.
THE PRIMARY HAZARDS FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND
LARGE HAIL. THERE IS ALSO A LOW POTENTIAL FOR TORNADO DEVELOPMENT.
MORE THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY…AS A WARM FRONT MOVES NORTHWARD THROUGH THE REGION. THE
LONG PERIOD OF SHOWER ACTIVITY THIS WEEK COULD HAVE HYDROLOGICAL
IMPACTS…WITH FLOODING ALONG AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS…AS WELL AS
FLOODING IN LOW LYING AREAS POSSIBLE.
