(March 15, 2026 | 6:30 a.m. CT): @NWSMemphis will be issuing a Wind Advisory that will go into effect at 8 a.m. CT for gusty conditions up to 45 mph. A line of strong to severe thunderstorms will approach from the west as early as 3 p.m. CT this afternoon and continue to move through the state. Damaging wind gusts are the primary concern, but there is the potential for tornadoes to spin up quickly. ✅ Stay weather aware. ✅ Have multiple ways to receive warnings. ✅ Make a plan. #ReadyTN

Tennessee, be ready for the potential of impactful severe weather on Sunday by making sure you have your "go-bag" ready, reviewing your important insurance documents, and making a home inventory. #severewx

Be Ready, Tennessee. Take the time now to prepare before the storm arrives: - Turn on weather alerts on your phone and monitor trusted local forecasts. - Identify your safe place now — a sturdy building, ideally a small interior room on the lowest floor and away from windows. - Bring in or tie down outdoor items like patio furniture, trash cans, trampolines, umbrellas, grills, and decorations so they do not become flying debris. - Gather essentials in one place — flashlight, medications, shoes, water, pet supplies, and important documents. - Charge phones and backup batteries in case power goes out. - Know the difference between a watch and a warning. A watch means conditions are possible; a warning means take action now. A few simple steps can help keep you and your family safe when severe weather hits.

As warmer spring weather arrives, the risk of severe weather this season increases. We encourage Tennesseans to start thinking today about their preparation for #severewx before a storm arrives. Visit: facebook.com/share/p/1Kt7Ru…

Things have escalated somewhat. The level 3 out of 5 has been dragged a little father east, but the biggest change is that the tornado risk has increased so that there is now a medium tornado threat generally west of I-65, which does include most of the Nashville Metro Area.

A closed door can hinder flames and smoke from spreading to other rooms and can help deprive a fire of the oxygen it needs to grow, limiting the structural damage a fire can cause and, most importantly, saving lives. #FireSafety
