This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest North
Carolina...east Tennessee and southwest Virginia.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Very hot conditions can be expected especially over portions of
the southeast in the central and southern Tennessee Valley this
afternoon, including Knoxville and Chattanooga, although showers
and thunderstorms will bring an abrupt end to the worst of the
today`s heat to any given location as they move through.

Showers and thunderstorms will move through this afternoon and
evening, and the stronger of these storms will likely produce
damaging wind gusts. In addition, locally heavy rainfall may
produce localized flooding, especially in areas where the ground
is already wet.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed this afternoon and evening.
Any reports of wind damage or flooding will be appreciated.
