Good Thursday. We will have strong to severe storms moving through the Tennessee Valley through about 11pm eastern. The biggest threats will be heavy rain, gusty winds, lightning, and small hail. Tornadoes are not a concern with the weather tonight, but we will, of course, be watchful. After 11pm, storms will fade, and we will have partly cloudy skies overnight with mild lows in the mid to upper 40s. Friday, we will be cloudy, cooler, and breezy.
