A TORNADO WATCH was just issued for Haywood County through 8pm this evening. Currently there are a couple of tornado warnings near Knoxville, but the storm line is NOT moving perpendicular to the NC border at this time. Rather, it's moving kinda sorta parallel to I-81 in east TN (running SW to NE), which is a little bit of good news.
The Knoxville storms are of no threat directly to us; however, a batch of storms near Chatanooga is, but still a good ways from us.
Per prior post I made yesterday, tornadoes are rare in the mountains due to topography, but suffice it to say it will be a humdinger line when it comes through, if not actually over our heads then it will be close by. Batten down your hatches and know all will be a done deal well before midnight.
