Smokey’s weather guy Bill Jones says we could have more coming but there’s no way to know how bad. He says all the ingredients are there but it’s still a guess. He says to stay up and stay alert. Bill says it will hit around 11pm.

Get that weather radio out of the garage. Be sure to put some batteries in it in case we lose power and have the entire household plug in their smartphones now.

According to the Director of the Emergency Management Agency Chance Holmes, we did get some flooding and we’ll likely get more this evening. The Director highly recommends that citizens stay off the roadways to avoid what we had last week.

Quick water rescues put everyone’s life in danger.

HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL REPORTED IN SPRINGFIELD

Next Round of Storms…What to Expect…(US National Weather Service Nashville Tennessee)

The latest short-range computer output shows just a few thunderstorms this afternoon. But, any storms that do fire up could become severe very quickly with damaging winds, tornadoes, and large hail. The downside of not having many storms is the afternoon is that sunnier, warmer and more unstable conditions will develop before the bigger batch of storms comes in tonight. This will add “fuel” to those storms.

Tonight’s storms are very likely to produce wind damage as they plow across the Mid State. Although strong winds will be the main feature, tornadoes and large hail will continue to be possible and flash flooding may occur as well.

We continue to emphasize, stay weather aware and have multiple ways to get warnings since these storms will be coming at night. NOBODY IS IN THE CLEAR AND ALL OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE REMAINS AT RISK.

The attached severe risk timing images for Clarksville, Nashville, and McMinnville will give you an general idea of peak timing for severe storms. These are not absolute- you could get a severe storms any time. But, they offer a guide for planning and understanding the risk levels.

Did We Have a Tornado Touchdown in Robertson County?
Officials from the Robertson County Emergency Management Agency and Robertson County EMS are en route to Lamont Road and McDaniels Road to assess damage caused by the recent storm. They aim to determine if there was a tornado touchdown. If you live in that area and have any photos or videos, please text them to 615-513-9844 or email them to [email protected].

POWER OUTAGES

The grid is in good shape, but approximately 650 people in Robertson County are currently without power. The outages are small and scattered, so it may take some time for crews to address them all. The good news is that CEMC and Springfield Electric are very efficient, so if your power is out you will likely see repair crews soon. Keep in mind that more weather is on the way.

TREES DOWN
We have numerous reports of trees down across the area. The ground is saturated so more are likely to come down and we have more weather ahead of us.

WEATHER AND TRAFFIC ALERT FROM ROBERTSON COUNTY EMS

TREE ON A HOME

We do have a report of a fallen tree on a home on Burr Rd. No injuries were reported but the resident has been told to stay put until powerlines are cleared.

TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT

The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch until 3 PM CDT this afternoon. Previously, we were under a tornado warning, but it has now been scaled back to a watch.
