People like watching videos right? Let's go with that today instead and I'll put a summary below if you don't have time to watch. The video is 4 minutes and 36 seconds long.

SUMMARY

  • A round of showers and thunderstorms is coming through during the middle of the day - late morning through early afternoon. Not likely to be severe 
  • Sunshine redevelops this afternoon causing the atmosphere to become unstable
  • Another round of thunderstorms arrive in the late afternoon and evening carrying across West Tennessee until midnight
  • Main timeline for a severe weather threat is from 4pm to 10pm
  • Not everyone in West Tennessee will get rain and fewer will get severe weather
