After quite a stormy morning across the Tennessee Valley, our weather is about to calm down just in time for the weekend. Many locations in the area observed more than 3 inches of rain since it all began yesterday. Thankfully, the moisture is on its way out. Temperatures will stay in the 60s this afternoon

The mid afternoon update from the NWS Storm Prediction Center maintains a Level 2 risk of severe storms for about the northwestern 40% or so of our viewing area, roughly along and northwest of the Natchez Trace Parkway give or take a few miles. Folks south and east of there remain in a Level 1
