This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for Middle Tennessee.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

The remnants of Hurricane Laura will move across Middle Tennessee
today and tonight. Gusty winds and heavy downpours are expected,
especially this afternoon and evening.

A few severe storms with damaging winds are possible, and a couple
of brief tornadoes may form. The main time for possible severe storms
and spinup tornadoes will be this afternoon and this evening until
midnight.

The downpours could be heavy enough to cause some localized flash
flooding. Western sections have the greatest potential for flooding,
so a Flash Flood Watch is in place generally along and west of I-65
this afternoon and evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

A few strong storms with gusty winds may occur Saturday afternoon and
evening.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed. Please relay any
information about observed severe weather or flooding to the NWS
while following all local, state, and CDC guidelines.
