Looking ahead to Tuesday, we’ll first look at early Tuesday morning where rain and storms are likely on western Middle Tennessee and parts of western Southern Kentucky. These could be strong to marginally severe, but will definitely be noisy. By Tuesday morning, a few storms enter locations along I-65. This rain will continue to move east, perhaps some moderate to heavy rain in our eastern areas through the morning.

By Tuesday afternoon, rain decreasing and ending to the east. Back to the west near the TN River, some sunshine develops with a new storms forming. These will be capable of stronger wind gusts and large hail as they move east into the afternoon. These storms taper off into the evening, leaving our region with scattered showers and storms into Wednesday morning.
