NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Please be Weather Alert overnight tonight for strong storms. Have a way to get storm warnings while you are asleep and do not silence your cell phone.

A Tornado Watch is in effect for most of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky until 3 a.m. Other watches could be issued later for our far eastern counties.
The Storm Prediction Center nudged the Category 3 “Enhanced Risk” farther eastward to cover all of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky for Sunday evening, overnight into early Monday morning.
All modes of severe weather are possible. The strongest thunderstorms could produce wind gusts over 80 mph, hail as large as 2″ (hen egg sized), and tornadoes. The Storm Prediction Center mentioned the possibility of strong tornadoes, meaning EF-2 or stronger.
