Strong storms possible Saturday PM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — With so many people outdoors as we head into your Labor Day Holiday Weekend, we want you to be WEATHER ALERT for the possibility for strong storms Saturday afternoon and evening.

There is a level 1/5 Marginal Risk for strong thunderstorms for just about all of our region. This means a few of the storms that develop could turn strong or severe.

After a hot day with temps reaching the mid 90s, the primary severe weather risk is damaging wind gusts because of the plentiful Gulf moisture. However, lightning and heavy rain are possible within any storm and this is dangerous for those outdoors.

Future Tracker for Saturday:

Please give or take several hours on the timing. Be weather alert starting during the mid afternoon.

Sunday

Ahead of the cold front, more rain and storms are expected. At this time, there is no defined severe weather risk, but a few strong storms are possible.

The cold front will result in cooler temperatures for the first week of September! We will take the heat break with highs likely in the 80s to near 90! Low rain chances possible by next Wednesday and Thursday.
