The radar

The Northeast Alabama radar (KHTX), 78 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 02:32 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 00:00Z, 2.5 hours before the alert went out and 87 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

...New UPDATE...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 653 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026

- Unsettled weather over the weekend with multiple rounds of
  thunderstorms. Highest chances will be this evening into the
  overnight hours, and again Sunday late morning into the
  afternoon.

- Low to medium chance for strong storms through the weekend,
  strong wind gusts will be the main concern along with heavy
  rain.

- A break in the showers and storms will start the work week, but
  the active and wet pattern will return for the second half of
  the week with additional showers and thunderstorms.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 653 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026

Storms continue to push into Middle Tennessee, with some strong to
severe producing damaging winds. Focus area is along and west of
I-65, but areas east could also see activity this evening. Storm
chances will persist over the next 24 hours or so before a frontal
boundary pushes to the south for a couple of days, ushering in
cooler and drier air. Temps in the upper 70s to low 80s with 50s
dewpoints is always welcome in mid-June.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Sunday)
Issued at 1054 AM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026

CAMs continue to struggle on timing of showers and thunderstorms
through the weekend, but they all agree that a cluster of stronger
thunderstorms will impact the mid state this evening into the
overnight hours, and a lower chance Sunday afternoon. Largely
zonal pattern aloft is keeping more widespread chances for storms
at bay, but subtle shortwaves are what's driving the increased
chances late this afternoon through Sunday. The first wave will
race eastward from MO into the OH valley, and right now CAM
consensus is mid evening arrival of a cluster of stronger storms
with damaging winds and heavy rainfall as the main threats. Low
confidence on how far east the storms will make it, but enough
instability is in place to carry them at least past I-65, but all
CAMs seem to want to weaken the storms as they approach the
Plateau. There may be a lull in activity Sunday morning before
daytime heating and the next shortwave can kick off additional
showers and storms mid day through the afternoon Sunday. Damaging
winds and heavy rainfall would remain the threats, and higher PWAT
values will allow for flooding potential, especially in areas that
see multiple rounds of rain.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday Night through next Saturday)
Issued at 1054 AM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026

A break in the showers and storms will start the work week as most
models have showers and storms to our north and south with a broad
trough overhead. But, shortwaves embedded within the upper flow
will dig the trough further south, and allow for storms to return
starting Wednesday afternoon. The active pattern will continue,
with even low chances for more strong to severe storms Wednesday
and Thursday. Still too early to call on timing or intensity but
this active pattern will continue regardless. There could be
another break in widespread showers and storms Friday and
Saturday, with mainly just a diurnal threat for storms, but long
term models continue to show high amounts of QPF, suggesting that
the overall wet pattern will persist into the last week of June.
Staying in this zonal/broad trough pattern with embedded
shortwaves will keep showers and storms in the forecast.

&&

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 546 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026

Radar trends indicate TSRA will impact CKV and more so for BNA and
MQY early in the TAF period. Some storms have prompted warnings
for wind and hail, but at the least expect frequent lightning.
After this round moves through expect additional convection during
the overnight and early morning hours, with storms possible into
the 18Z to 00Z time frame. Around 00Z for BNA winds will shift to
the northwest, improving VIS and low CIGS but more importantly no
storm activity as of right now.
