National Weather Service Office meteorologists issued a Special Weather Statement Tuesday noting that heavy rainfall and strong to severe thunderstorms were still possible tonight through Wednesday evening.
The storms were developing as of 4 p.m., Tuesday, west of the Mississippi River, and although some of the isolated cells may be possible across the Mid-state today and tonight west of Interstate 65, the main area of storms will approach Middle Tennessee after 7 p.m. and continue east through the overnight hours.
“Some of these storms could become severe with damaging winds and large hail possible. Although a very low threat, an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out tonight, with the best chance occurring west of I-65 further south near the Alabama border. Again, this chance appears low and will not resemble the storms that affected Oklahoma (on Monday),” meteorologists said in the statement.
At the time the statement was issued, they said it appeared that thunderstorm complexes that moved into Middle Tennessee would be weakening overnight, perhaps dissipating by Wednesday morning. Even so, “This will leave room for our region to become unstable yet again…with strong to severe storms possible Wednesday afternoon and evening. The main threats with those storms on Wednesday will be large hail and damaging winds…mainly along and east of I-65. In addition, any storms that occur throughout the next 24-36 hours will be capable of producing torrential rainfall, and if storms train over the same areas isolated flash flooding may become possible.”

They are tasked with keeping the city safe 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week – but just how well can they pour a cup of Joe? Clayborn’s Bakery customers will find out this Saturday.
From 6 a.m. until noon, Lebanon Police Officers, dispatchers and records personnel will work alongside Clayborn’s staff as part of the Tip-A-Cup fundraisers for Wilson County Relay for Life to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. LPD Communications Supervisor Courtney Sellars said that the idea stemmed from Police Chief Scott Bowen.
“It was his idea and I looked for a restaurant where we could do it. I happen to know Josh Hubbard, who owns Clayborn’s Bakery, and I thought that cops and donuts – that would be funny,” she said. “We worked together on it.”
Tip-A-Cop will donate 100 percent of the tips earned to Relay for Life and Clayborn’s Bakery has pledged to donate a percentage of the day’s sales to the cause.
Sellars said that LPD has been really active in Relay for Life over the past few years. “It gets us out in the community and lets them know that we care. We are there for them not just in an emergency situation – but we are there for them health-wise.”
Wilson County’s Relay for Life will be held Friday, June 21 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. on the track at Stroud Gwynn Field on the Castle Heights campus to honor cancer survivors and raise awareness. The American Cancer Society uses the funds raised to invest in groundbreaking research in every type of cancer and provide free information and services to cancer patients and their caregivers. There will be food, games, and activities for all ages.
If you would like to join the Lebanon Police Department’s team, or donate to the cause, you may do so at www.relayforlife.org. |
