The Storm Prediction Center has issued a rare PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) Tornado Watch for West Tennessee and Central Arkansas. The watch is in effect for a long time, all the way to 7pm tonight. It is unusual to see a PDS in September especially one that runs all day long. There are going to be some major tornadoes today to our west. The strong storms could race into western Tennessee later this afternoon and early evening. We’ll be watching the event unfold and keeping an eye to our western edges.
There is also worry about tomorrow…
