⚡ Haily's Briefing

Tennessee has no active hail or wind alerts right now, and the SPC discussion does not place a focused severe corridor over the state at this time. The main severe risk is farther west and north, where SPC notes widely scattered storms with hail up to 2 inches and damaging wind gusts across the central and southern Plains into the Ozark Plateau Saturday into Saturday night, with only isolated damaging wind gusts possible in the upper Ohio Valley; tornado risk is not highlighted for Tennessee in this guidance.

Ranked by SPC verified storm reports (wind, hail, tornado) across all 50 states over the last 12 months. Severity-weighted index scores each report by hazard (tornado ×20, hail ×4, wind ×1) so a single derecho's flood of wind reports doesn't outweigh tornado outbreaks. Recalculated daily as of Sep 11, 2026.

Proudly AI-powered. Honestly sourced. IDOLCheck is built by HailyAI. Every storm event, magnitude, radar snapshot, and date on this page is deterministic — retrieved directly from official NOAA, National Weather Service (NWS), and Storm Prediction Center (SPC) storm records through our HailyDB engine and displayed exactly as reported. Quoted warning and report text is always attributed to its official source. Where the surrounding copy is not a direct quote, it was generated with AI assistance from that same verified storm data and reviewed and approved by humans before publication. AI organizes and presents the record — it never invents storm data.
