Severe Weather Coverage for Monday, August 07, 2023

Monday, August 7, 2023 14:57

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

An area of severe thunderstorms is approaching Macon County and will likely be here within an hour or so (3pm to 4pm or so).

Please use caution if you are expecting to be on the road during this time period. Damaging winds are expected to be the main threat with these storms, but large hail and a couple of isolated tornadoes will be possible as well. Any thunderstorm will be capable of producing torrential downpours, gusty winds, and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning.

Macon Media has suspended plans to cover the town council meeting tonight in order to cover the impact of these storms in Macon County.

A liveblog will be posted below the sponsors section in reverse chronological order.

An open thread will also be maintained on Facebbok [LINK] so that citizens can report or ask questions about conditions near them.

Areas affected…Eastern Tennessee into far western North Carolina

Concerning…Tornado Watch 600…

Valid 071736Z – 071930Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 600 continues.

SUMMARY…The threat for tornadoes and severe/damaging winds will continue in eastern Tennessee into far western North Carolina.

DISCUSSION…Convection continues in eastern Tennessee this afternoon. The most organized portion of this activity is oriented roughly north-south from Crossville to north of Chattanooga. This linear segment shows strong velocities in the lowest 2 km on KOHX radar. Additional storms are trying to develop east of this activity as well. The environment will continue to support severe/damaging wind gusts as well as isolated large hail. The threat for tornadoes will also continue, perhaps mostly with line-embedded circulations. The 850 mb winds are expected to increase later today as the mid-level jet pivots through the region. This should act to increase what are currently modestly enlarged hodographs per area VAD data.
