On Thursday there will be an increasing chance of severe thunderstorms throughout the day. There will be the potential of damaging winds, hail, and isolated tornadoes.
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a 15% probability of this severe weather chance. There is also the possibility we could come under a tornado watch during the day.
There is a developing weather system that will be moving northeast across Mississippi and the Tennessee River Valley. The prevailing cold front will allow for the development of thunderstorms in the way of a squall line. There is also the potential of isolated thunderstorms to develop ahead of the front in a warm moist atmosphere through the day.
There will be a developing pressure gradient between high pressure to our eats, and the low pressure passing to our north.
Winds will gradually pick up through the day Thursday from the south - southwest. We could even see gusts up to 35 mph, and higher in thunderstorms.
Please monitor your favorite local weather media outlet via television or radio, and/or your NOAA Weather Radio.
