Residents in Tennessee, particularly in the Huntsville AL area, should be vigilant as a Special Weather Statement has been issued due to a strong thunderstorm southeast of Fayetteville. The storm, moving northeast at 35 mph, brings with it wind gusts in excess of 30 mph, which may down tree limbs and cause unsecured objects to become hazards. Areas likely to be affected include Huntland, Hurdlow, Maxwell, St. Andrews, Smithland, Tims Ford Lake, Beans Creek, Woods Reservoir, Alto, and Lincoln. The warning is in effect until 7:30 AM CDT. Please stay indoors if possible and secure any loose items outside.
Tennessee's flow conditions are influenced by its major rivers, including the Tennessee River, Cumberland River, and Mississippi River. These rivers are fed by numerous tributaries, including the Clinch River, Duck River, and Hiwassee River. The state's hydrology is characterized by significant rainfall, which can lead to high river levels and flooding. There are also several major reservoirs and dams in Tennessee, including the Norris Dam and the Kentucky Dam, which help to regulate water levels and generate hydropower. In addition, the state's climate is humid subtropical, with hot summers and mild winters. Watershed data and snowpack levels can also impact Tennessee's hydrology, with higher levels of snow melt leading to increased river flow.
