Late-month heat will pull Lovell close to average for June, but I know the truth.😂

[Tommy Millsaps🇺🇸 @MightyMillsaps]

Technically, Chattanooga still hasn’t had a 70 or > daily low in June and this year. I imagine that changes at the end of the week and probably falls within June. You have to go back to 1992 for such a late occurrence.

Latest HRRR pushes storms more east than earlier runs....still could have some but this is a change.

The National Weather Service issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. More info: https://t.co/FsqrI4qgcR and in the @WVLT First Alert Weather app.

Pink sky! Yes, I edited and I still don’t think it shows up as pink as it really was.

[Tommy Millsaps🇺🇸 @MightyMillsaps]

I guess to be technically correct. It will fire to our NW and is modeled by several sources to make it into ET with some punch still.

[Tommy Millsaps🇺🇸 @MightyMillsaps]

“Feels” cool and stable but HRRR still thinks the atmosphere will fire up Round 2 early Monday.

All of these supercells will be capable of producing tornadoes in this explosive environment. Remember, the forcing comes from the environment, and we have a very explosive one. #inwx #kywx #tnwx KLVX - Super-Res Reflectivity 1, 3:26 PM

Just haven’t seen hodographs and kinematics line up like this in Kentucky in LATE June in a LONG time. Wow.

[Tommy Millsaps🇺🇸 @MightyMillsaps]

0.45 in rain in Sweetwater...

[Tommy Millsaps🇺🇸 @MightyMillsaps]

I thought the HRRR did a good job with picking up the severity of this first MCS. The second one if it forms might be hard pressed to top it south of Kentucky?

[Tommy Millsaps🇺🇸 @MightyMillsaps]

happen every day.

[Tommy Millsaps🇺🇸 @MightyMillsaps]

Kind of an “odd” watch for the areas in the northern fringe. Peak storm was over. SPC seemed reluctant early on to issue a watch. Be interesting to see what happens later tonight/early Monday. Do we get two pretty stout MCSs in 12 hours? By no means unprecedented but doesn’t

🙄🙄🙄. Gets old sometimes, I’m not gonna lie. 😂😂

[Tommy Millsaps🇺🇸 @MightyMillsaps]

I think the slight severe risk needs to be move East of I-75 again more similar to what it was yesterday.
