Showers and storms will bring heavy rain, gusty winds, small hail and lightning to the area this evening.
Cloud cover across Middle Tennessee this afternoon prevented the storms from meeting their full potential of reaching severe limits. Therefore, the line has remained below severe criteria as it has moved into our area.
Extreme storms have moved into areas to our south with baseball size hail being reported near Cullman, Alabama. Also, a large and dangerous tornado has caused considerable damage along the Alabama/Georgia state line.
Thankfully, those severe storms have stayed to our south.
