East Tennessee â€" While we generally think of severe weather as something that happens during the spring, we actually have a secondary severe weather season during the fall months.
With that being said, we have the potential to see strong to severe storms across much of the southeast on Monday and Tuesday.
A strengthening weather system will arrive late Monday night and could bring strong to severe storms to East Tennessee, southeast Kentucky and southwest Virginia overnight Monday into early Tuesday morning.

Another option is to leave your TV on so that if a warning is issued, (hopefully) the emergency alert sound will wake you up.
Having a NOAA Weather Radio is also a great way to make sure you are aware of what is happening with the weather.
It is also important to know the difference between a WATCH vs a WARNING.
A WATCH means that conditions are favorable for the development of severe weather. This means that you should be alert to changing weather conditions and be prepared to take action if necessary.
A WARNING means that severe weather is imminent or occurring. This means that you need to take action and move to to a safe place. Move to the lowest level of a sturdy building away from doors and windows until the storm passes.
The good news is that the potential for severe weather should end by the early afternoon hours on Tuesday with rain chances gradually ending and slowly clearing skies for the rest of the day.
If you still need to vote, we would recommend heading to the polls during the late morning, afternoon or evening so you can avoid getting caught in the rain or storms... But still go out and cast your ballot!
We will continue to refine the details of this forecast so check back for updates!**
