Watching scattered storms on the radar this evening. Some storms are exhibiting rotation, but nothing super alarming at this time. Gusty winds and lightning are the main risks the next several hours. Can see where the cold front is too back in Middle TN.

Watching plenty of thunderstorms across our northern areas right now - gusty winds, lightning, and real heavy rainfall are likely. Watching for anything more significant. Plenty of reasons to stay inside the remainder of the day.

Crews are assessing storm damage and making repairs on the ground and in the air. When roads are impassable, helicopters and drones support restoration alongside teams working with local power companies. Damage and outages are affecting 12 of our 153 local power companies in parts of Middle and West Tennessee and Mississippi, where we also have damage to our transmission system.
TVA and local crews are working around the clock to restore power safely and quickly. All available resources will remain deployed until service is restored.

🔋Preparedness Tip🔋
Take a moment to check the batteries in your flashlights and weather radios. Power outages can happen without warning, and having reliable light and alerts makes all the difference. A quick battery check now keeps you ready for anything.

Did you find yourself needing a jacket on this cool October morning?
This morning's cooler, drier air that brought sunshine to the Southern Appalachians is courtesy of our friends in the @NWSBinghamton area.👋

Rip current risk will increase along the East Coast through this busy beach weekend. For more information please visit: nhc.noaa.gov
Important message from @NHC_Atlantic on Hurricane Erin, "While the threat of direct impacts in the Bahamas and along the east coast of the United States appears to be gradually decreasing, there will still be a significant risk of dangerous surf and rip currents along western Atlantic beaches next week."
