It always worries me on a holiday weekend when thunderstorms break out. So many folks are outside, and lightning is a real concern. The storms won’t last more than an hour in any given location, so go inside, relax, and resume your activities after the storm has passed.
By the way, so far the storm reports relay some trees blown down near the intersection of Antioch Pike and Murfreesoboro Road. Also a viewer reported some large old trees uprooted in Donelson off of Fairway Drive.
There was also a report of golf ball sized hail on Hwy 53 north of Manchester.
About 1.50″ of rain at the airport in an hour and a half but only a few sprinkles here in this part of Hermitage (about 15 minutes from airport). Talk about hit and miss!
At least one large barn has blown over from straight line winds down in Southern Williamson County off Byrd Lane. We had very strong winds during a slow-moving storm.
Lighting struck a two car detached garage here in LaVergne. Nothing but the shell remains after the fire. lots of dime size hail also
Are these pop up thunderstorms gonna continue the rest of the day? Just wondering..
Davis,
What are the odds of tornado’s developing in these types of storms? I would think it would be slim to none, and slim just left the building. I would think there would be enough wind in the upper atmoshphere to produce any type of rotation.
Doesn’t seem to be the right conditions for tornadoes….the winds in the upper levels aren’t moving, at least that’s what NWS site is saying.
It’s been soooo hot here today I welcome the thought of some rain! We have dark clouds and I can hear thunder in the distance but not a drop so far.
Please, please, please send some rain my way!
Why did WKRN not really show the weather warnings on screen during the Indy 500? I had to turn to another station to see the warnings for my county.
Samuel you must have been watching the wrong channel, 2 showed the warnings several times during the Indy 500.
