Tornados will be most possible in Southeast Tennessee in the central Cumberland plateau, according to Dalton. If there is a tornado in northeast Tennessee, near Knoxville, it would likely be a "quick hit" in the line of storms.

For those across the Midwest, it’s time to prepare for the looming severe weather threat. Strong storms with the threat of damaging winds, tornadoes and hail are expected across the region, beginning late Friday afternoon and lasting into Saturday.
