00:00We have over a thousand miles worth of showers and storms here to track across parts of the northeast to the mid-south.
00:07Now, the strongest storms right now continue across the states of Kentucky and Tennessee.
00:11As of right now, no severe thunderstorm warnings in effect here for this region as of right now,
00:16but you can see that we still have a couple of bands, a couple of regions, a couple of zones here of clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms.
00:23But once again, as of right now, none of these storms are severe, but we will be watching out for that trend to continue
00:29because as we look at the lightning, you can see some of these storms are still producing some pretty good lightning bands here as we head into this evening.
00:35Now, as we go on up the line, you can see here pretty much the dividing line will be the Ohio River.
00:40If you live to the east or to the north of the Ohio River, pretty much you're going to be dealing with just chilly rainfall here as we head into this evening.
00:47And we have a lot of that chilly rainfall continuing here across the I-80 corridor there in central PA.
00:52But overall, another thing we want to point out is that, yes, there will be that risk of severe weather,
00:56including a tornado watch in effect for central parts of Tennessee primarily.
01:01Now, the good news is some of the western counties on this tornado watch have been trimmed off
01:05as this line of storms continues to work its way across the region.
01:09But yes, the I-40 corridor is primarily where we've seen the strongest storms here across central Tennessee.
01:14But the overall risk for severe weather will still extend from the Gulf Coast all the way up through parts of the mid-south
01:21into the northeast as well.
01:23This is where we're going to see the highest potential of severe storms with that tornado watch
01:26almost bullseye in the center of our Accu with exclusive storm zone.
01:31And the main zone here will be for the central and northern portion where we've seen widespread showers and storms,
01:37even severe thunderstorm warnings there for the Nashville metro.
01:40Now, to the south, we've had some sporadic spotty showers there across parts of Mississippi, Alabama, into Georgia.
01:46None of those storms have been severe, which is good news.
01:48But as we head into this evening, as we head into tonight, we're still going to be watching out for some strong winds
01:53and some heavy downpours of rainfall.
01:55So power outage potential with some of these strong winds will be possible here
01:59and as the sun comes up for your early Saturday morning.
