Severe Weather Underway

It’s currently 7:10 PM in Cannon County, TN, with temperatures holding steady at 77°F amidst severe weather patterns. Calm winds are offering no relief as humidity sits at 69%, making it feel quite muggy outside. The sky is a turbulent canvas, painted with dark clouds that threaten severe thunderstorms, complete with a serious risk of tornado activity.

Weather Changes Coming

As we look ahead, expect conditions to deteriorate further. The severe thunderstorms holding tight will likely increase in intensity, with the potential for tornadoes and hail making their presence felt. This damp atmosphere coupled with the rising winds will create an unsettling environment, with the air feeling heavier and more oppressive as night falls.
