Severe Weather

Severe weather can break out any month of the year in East Tennessee, but the most common time is from March through the end of May.

It's the time of year when the atmosphere transitions from winter to spring that provides the right ingredients for storms to form.

To help you understand severe weather so you can be ready when it develops, we've prepared this 6 Storm Team Weather Extra special section.

It describes and explains weather conditions that can threaten your safety and damage your property.
