See more weather including LIVE radar ELEVATED LEVELS OF FIRE DANGER FOR TODAY ACROSS ALL OF MIDDLE TN... WIND SPEEDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE TODAY IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WHICH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS AT THE 2O FOOT LEVEL WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 10 TO 15 MPH RANGE. HOWEVER...WIND GUSTS...PARTICULARLY IN THE AFTERNOON WILL REACH 20 TO 25 MPH. THE ELEVATED WIND SPEEDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. IN ADDITION TO THE HIGHER WIND SPEEDS...MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DROP INTO THE 25 PERCENT TO 30 PERCENT RANGE. THE LOW HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BOTTOM OUT THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN SLOWLY START INCREASING THIS EVENING. THE COMBINATION OF THE HIGHER WIND SPEEDS AND LOWER RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL ACT TO FURTHER AGGRAVATE THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRES ACROSS THE DROUGHT STRICKEN MIDDLE TN AREA. GOOD NEWS THOUGH...THERE IS A CHANCE OF SOME RAINFALL TONIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL AVERAGE AROUND THREE TENTHS OF AN INCH FOR WESTERN AREAS...AND ONE TO TWO TENTHS OF AN INCH ACROSS THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU. Strong Storms Possible Tonight
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT, AS A COLD FRONT MOVES. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE STRONG WITH GUSTY WINDS DURING THE EVENING.
