Severe Thunderstorm Watch...

Here are the counties included in the Severe Thunderstorm Watch for parts of the region until 8pm.



Storms are increasing in coverage and intensity from eastern Tennessee into the mountains, and they will spread east through this evening. Some storms will likely produce damaging winds, and some hail is also possible.

Also, tons and tons out outdoor activities today due to the Independence Day holiday. Please remember, when thunder roars, go indoors. Lightning is consistently one of the top weather killers in our country.
