[7:00 PM] Good grief this is tough to watch…
This storm has done everything in its power to avoid Bedford County. It still looks like NE Coffee will get clipped, but hopefully something will develop on the tail end of this cell.
Severe downburst in Normandy earlier this afternoon associated with a severe thunderstorm that moved through the area. - multiple reports of trees down in the area.

A very distinct funnel cloud was spotted over Western Bedford County near Wheel yesterday afternoon during the tornado warning. - If you look closely near ground level at the beginning of the video, there looks to be some dirt being lofted by the circulation. - It is unclear at this time if a tornado did in fact touch down.

Rotating wall cloud just north of New Union, TN in Coffee County
Rotating wall cloud just north of New Union in Coffee County earlier this afternoon. - Thankfully no reports of an official tornado touchdown, as low-level rotation was still fairly weak.
Thank you to Tiffany Smith for sharing.

Well, here is my one video of the great December 2023 blizzard. A few flakes were flying in downtown Tullahoma this evening.
I think I saw more light-up snowflakes on the light poles than I did real snowflakes this whole event 😂. Oh well, you have to have a good laugh every once in a while.

[9:15 AM] Using our new satellite data on Radar Scope, we can see an area of clouds moving in from the west. In addition, if you look closely, you may notice an area of fog over Central Bedford County slowly burning off this morning.
I cannot rule out a quick light shower within the area of heavier cloud cover, but I’m not anticipating anything major or consequential.
Here is a video I took from the eyewall of Hurricane Idalia.
The eyewall is where the worst of the winds are in a hurricane, as they surround the calm eye.
In this video winds were probably gusting in the 110 MPH range, but there were times higher gusts were observed. Definitely a great storm to chase!
I’m sorry for the livestream issues, there ended up not being enough cell phone service to stream much.
Yesterday afternoon around 1:45 PM Jeff Wooten videos what appears to be a small spin-up tornado trying to form along HWY 130 East in Bedford County.
Thankfully, the circulation was short lived, weak, and did not produce any known damage. This is why I always say the tornado threat is LOW, but never zero. These spinups can form very quickly without much warning.

Mother Nature is clearly trying to test my patience with the “dry” forecast for this week 🤦♂️
If anything, maybe some sprinkles in NE Coffee over the next hour… Oh well…
[5:10 PM] Well, there goes that…
