According to the National Weather Service, a few strong to marginally severe storms are possible this afternoon into the early evening across the entire area.
A low risk for damaging winds 60 mph and large hail up to a quarter size exists with the strongest thunderstorms. Heavy downpours in association with the storms may cause nuisance flooding in vulnerable areas, but overall flash flood risk is very low. Trees downed in severe weather could result in power outages.
Beginning on Friday through Wednesday there will be multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms moving through. Showers will start during the day on Friday and will continue through Monday. Some of these storms may become strong to severe at times, with strong gusty winds 60 mph and hail (up to a quarter size) the primary threats.
There may be a period with a low tornado threat as well sometime in the Sunday into Monday time frame. In addition, repeated or prolonged periods of heavy rainfall may produce localized flooding in a few locations.
The Emergency Management Agency encourages everyone to be weather aware especially if there are any outdoor events or activities planned. Stay tuned to Radio Greeneville Stations for weather updates.
