Severe Weather begining to push into Central Tennessee. That National Weather Service has issued a " Severe Thunderstorm Watch " for these areas. As you can see from the radar image above that there is Moderate to Heavy rain falling about I want to pull your attention to the (Dark Red Cell)  just above the word Light on the bottem of the image. The last time I check this cell was showing signs of Rotation.  So please be sure that if you run into one of these Strong Storm Cells that you get to lowest part of your home. Try to make the area a place without windows. Even if it don't spawn a Tornado the Winds in this Cell could be Damging by themseleves.
