Storms Tonight… but Not Widespread Severe
The thunderstorms moving from west to east overnight will produce lightning, gusty winds, pockets of small hail and some brief heavy downpours of rain, but most will remain below severe weather limits.
We could get a couple of warnings but, again, we are not expecting widespread severe weather.
The storms weakened significantly after crossing the Mississippi River into west Tennessee. However, there is a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for counties west of the Tennessee River until 2am. The threat will end long before that in northern counties but may linger in southern counties as the southern portion of the squall line drags its heels.
If you get hail or any wind damage, send photos to pix@wkrn.com

Outflow winds for these storms off to the west have put some of my most recent gusts to almost 35, and sustained right at 19-20.. But it was so amazing to see how the line lost alot of intensity after crossing the Mississippi River.. It looks as if the line over Memphis has separated a little bit from the line.. Lots of rain down that way!!

When the line gets to Cookeville, will it still be strong?

You can expect gusty winds, heavy downpours, and lightning, Karyn.
