What's Important to Know About Tennessee Weather

Tennessee has the potential for both highly varied weather and severe storms.  The thing about severe storms is that they can bring strong winds, hail and tornados.

Tornados can occur at any type of the year but more often in April and November -- both months when the weather is changing to either summer or winter.  For example this year at the beginning of 2023.  We've had tornados in the areas in both December 2022 and January 2023
