@SumnerSevereWx @NashSevereWx #tspotter Lightning in Sumner County ⚡️

@jrowphoto @SumnerSevereWx Thank you!

@whollenbeck88 @SumnerSevereWx Red boiling springs, Lafayette area now… they aren’t seeing tornado, just some rotation now

We just got lucky.. The storm that just left our area, now has a tornado warning...

@WilsonSevereWX ETA for the polygon in Dickson?

County circled with the polygons of the supercells moving E/NE. Watching that new cell near Franklin to see if it intensifies as it rolls this way.

@SumnerSevereWx Ah 😰 Thank you!

@whollenbeck88 There's a large time frame at this point (early morning to late evening) But I'm checking the latest HRRR model to see if anything has changed... (It look to be an all day event :/)

Who all is up?! I'll be here keeping an eye on things! Ready for an all-nighter!

@SumnerSevereWx Do we know a time frame for tomorrow?

@whollenbeck88 I feel ya!! If you have your WEA Alerts turned on and a few other ways to wake you up incase, I would say go ahead! Tomorrow is the main issue!

@NashSevereWx @NashSevereWx so you’re saying there’s a chance!? 😂👏🏼❄️

@NashSevereWx What is needed for a tornado watch to be issued? Like what has to happen for one to be issued?

SPC still eyeing a watch for N Middle Tennessee. We'll see if it clips us if they issue it. Radar is currently in great shape for our two counties. ^al

@UpbeatStruggles @NashSevereWx I want to know too! I hate this.

@NashSevereWx In your opinion, is there a safe place to drive to avoid the worst of this storm? I’m thinking of leaving tonight

Radar plus model data suggests we're dodging this event tonight. Still watching the radar for this evening but spending more time looking at tomorrow. Think a line of intense storms will come through mid/late Saturday afternoon, but that's not the only concern. 1/2

@NashSevereWx You all are the best!! Hands down!

Thanks for your patience with us tonight. Lots of replies. Lots of questions. Send reports to #tspotter. We do this for you. We love you. ^wm

@SumnerSevereWx Can we come out of our safe place?

Tornado has appeared to weakened and lifted. But could spin back down at any moment

@SumnerSevereWx No current tornados in Gallatin?

@kirkegaa1 @NashSevereWx Same.

@NashSevereWx My husband wants to get in the car with our three kids and drive away. We’re in Nashville. Should we hunker down or do we have time to drive somewhere further east?

Line progressing east. ETA still a few hours away; however, possible that storms will form ahead of this main line and arrive sooner. A Tornado Watch remains in effect until 5 AM. / 1130 PM

@NashSevereWx So does this mean it’s getting worse than what we were hoping?

South winds are gusting ahead of the main line, up to 40 MPH. / 1058 PM

@SumnerSevereWx I can hear it in Gallatin. Low grumbly thunder.

Anyone hearing Thunder or seeing some Lightning? It's from this storm that clipping the southern part of our county.
