Thunderstorms are intensifying over Tennessee tonight, upstream from North Alabama.
Several severe thunderstorm warnings are in effect across the Volunteer State...back into Arkansas.
2 inch hail was reported in Dickson County, Tennessee west of Nashville.
Several other reports of hail up to one inch have been received during the past two hours across Tennessee.
Several trees were reported down just after 6:30 p.m. in Hawkins County in extreme northeast Tennessee.
The activity is forming in an unstable airmass that is weakly capped. The fact that the airmass over Alabama is significantly capped has prevented widespread thunderstorm development this afternoon.
With a west northwesterly flow, this activity is heading toward North Alabama. The northern tier of counties, two counties thick is under a severe thunderstorm watch.
Will teh storms make it down to Birmingham and North Central Alabama tonight? Possibly. We expect them to weaken as they move into Central Alabama, but they could hold together enough to bring a little rock and roll action our way late tonight.
