KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 118 AM EDT Wed May 6 2026

- Widespread showers and storms through Thursday morning.

- Periods of heavy rain are likely. Some flooding concerns are possible given the potential for training showers and storms this afternoon and evening. Widespread flooding seems unlikely though.

- A conditional severe weather threat exists this afternoon/evening if surface-based instability can develop. If it does, damaging winds will be possible, and even a low end tornado risk will be present.

- Southwesterly winds will be gusty today especially in the East Tennessee mountains and foothills. A Wind Advisory is in effect for the Smoky Mountains through 11 AM EDT.

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 118 AM EDT Wed May 6 2026

Will see showers and thundestorms around at times through the period, and will try to time best chances for thunder with prob30 groups. VFR conditions to start, but will see more MVFR/IFR conditions as the precipitation increases. Still looks borderline for LLWS early in the period, so will monitor but leave out for now.
