SPC Day 3 Slight Risk; OHX's Take

As you can tell, the SPC has placed areas from Nashville northward and NW in the slight zone. On Wednesday, we are expecting pop-up type storms so any areas in and around this slight zone could see some some severe weather. The risks right now are for isolated severe hail and damaging winds. There is still some uncertainty if the CAP will break over are region. If it holds then we won't see much severe weather at all, but it still still iffy as to if that will happen.

Here is OHX's (NWS office in Nashville) take on this possible severe day...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE PASSES JUST TO OUR NORTH AND BRINGS A COLD FRONT CLOSE TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE. SOME OF THE STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP MAY BECOME QUITE STRONG, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE STORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AND NORTHWEST MIDDLE TENNESSEE, INCLUDING THE NASHVILLE METRO AREA.
