That’s the word used by WRCB-TV Channel 3 Chief Meteorologist Paul Barys about the weather moving into the Chattanooga area tonight that could bring heavy downpours, lashing winds, hail and the possibility of tornadoes.
“Anywhere in the area we’re probably going to have strong to severe thunderstorms and some tornado watches,” Barys said. “It could get nasty.”
The worst of the storms is expected to hit the region between 10 p.m. tonight and 3 a.m. Saturday morning, the National Weather Service reported Thursday.
“People may be sleeping, and that could be bad,” said Todd Hyslop, meteorologist with the National Weather Service at Morristown, Tenn.
