URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 55
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   750 AM EST Wed Mar 1 2017

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Eastern Kentucky
     Eastern Tennessee
     Far southwest Virginia
     Southern West Virginia

   * Effective this Wednesday morning and afternoon from 750 AM
     until 100 PM EST.

   * Primary threats include...
     Widespread damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
       to 75 mph possible
     Isolated large hail events to 1 inch in diameter possible
     A tornado or two possible

   SUMMARY...An organized line of severe storms will continue rapidly
   eastward through the morning, with a continued risk for widespread
   damaging winds.  An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out with
   embedded circulations within the larger line of storms.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 65
   statute miles east and west of a line from 70 miles northeast of
   Jackson KY to 35 miles south southwest of Knoxville TN. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
   update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
   favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
   Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
   weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
   warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
   tornadoes.

Clouds thinning in Knoxville. Storms a couple hours out. They have definitely lost some punch when they entered the plateau.

I've noticed that too, but you have to watch out for the storms to strengthen up again once it reaches the valley.
