With a weak frontal boundary still in the vicinity we’ll again watch the daytime heating fuel storms. Absent any significant winds in the upper levels again these storms will move slowly over our area producing heavy rain. There is again a slight risk of severe weather in the form of damaging winds. Of course anything can and does happen when storms develop- yesterday evening a weak tornado formed in Davidson County and damaged several homes. That’s the red dot you see over Nashville you see below, most of the wind damage reports (the blue dots) came from South Carolina.
The rain/storm coverage is forecasted to hit around 60% with some of these storms lasting into the evening. Below you see how the Storm Prediction Center again puts us in the 5% risk of damaging winds to occur within 25 miles of your home.

The National Weather Service is still working on confirming the tornado in northern Davidson County. One good thing about all of that were the amazing pictures like the one above. But before you get too excited, you’ll want to brace yourselves for round two this afternoon. [...]
