Damaging wind, heavy rainfall, flash flooding, tornadic activity and large hail are main threats

LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF)- A significant severe weather outbreak is likely across Campbell County and the region with the greatest threat in our area being along the Cumberland Plateau through southeast Tennessee and southwest North Carolina.

The greatest threat is for significant and widespread damaging winds with tornadoes and large hail also possible. Flash flooding remains of concern into Saturday night due to heavy rainfall rates and multiple rounds of rain. This threat is greatest west of Interstate 75.

We’re thinking the best time frame estimate for the strongest of the storms is 11pm Saturday through Sunday at 4am. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-03/14/2025-3PM-GRAPHICS AND SOME CONTENT COURTESY OF THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE-MORRISTOWN)
