Strong to severe storms are possible from this evening into early Wednesday morning. The primary hazards will be localized flooding and damaging winds, but a very low tornado risk cannot be ruled out near the KY border. The threat of severe storms is highest north of I-40. Stay weather aware tonight!
A cold front will bring multiple rounds of showers and storms tonight and Wednesday morning. Some storms could be strong to severe, and may produce locally heavy rainfall and flooding. Temperatures begin to trend below normal tomorrow, persisting through the end of the week.
