Weather Update 12:50 PM: Monday, May 22 —

Good Afternoon West Tennessee. There have been some changes to the forecast this afternoon compared to this morning. The main change is the addition of a Marginal Risk (1/5 ) for West Tennessee. So far through late morning and this afternoon so far it has been mainly quiet. This morning we had the remnants of a MCS move through SW Tennessee. the outflow from that complex is slowing down the progression of the main surface warm front. That will give the second wave that is located in West-Central/Southern Missouri and North-Central Arkansas time to move into the Mid-South. This morning that was a complete miss. In terms of timing, it appears the wave will be approaching the MS River by 6:00 PM and moving through NW Tennessee by 7:00 PM and will be arriving at the I-40 corridor by 8:00 PM, It will then arrive along the TN River and SW Tennessee by 9-10 PM. the severe threat isnt a slam dunk, but there is potential for pockets of damaging winds, very heavy rain and prolific lightning through tonight.
