From Brad Panovich this morning – TRACKING SEVERE STORMS: The cold front and line of strong to severe storms is moving east through eastern Tennessee this morning. It arrives in the mountains 11am-1pm. the foothills 1pm-3pm then the Piedmont and Charlotte areas 4-7pm. I expect a tornado watch will likely be issued before the line arrives. Expect the wind to really pick up as we go through the day. Stay alert of possible warnings as well.
