Another Tornado Watch Out Until 10pm Tuesday Night

We still could see a severe storm or two in areas south of Madison country through Midnight. I think the severe threat is over north of Jackson with the storm line slowly dropping to the south as the storms track to the east. We are going to stay with it until the threat is over for you in those counties, including Hardin county. The faster the line dropped to the south the better. I expect most of if not all the counties in West Tennessee will see the tornado watch expire at 10pm. A few counties near the Mississippi border could see it extended. The hail and tornado threat are low with these storms in West Tennessee, but cannot be ruled out. Expect some gusty winds, heavy rain and plenty of lightning. An isolated flood threat could develop in our southern counties as well due to the training nature of these storms. Catch the full forecast right here.
