W/Middle TN could get rather interesting tonight just looking at some of the progged RAP/HRRR soundings. What we have is a juxtaposition of very cold air aloft (500 mb temps approaching -20˚C) with resulting fat CAPE profiles despite somewhat marginal low level thermos, and very strong deep layer shear favoring long-lived supercells with very large hail.
Tornado potential is a bit more unclear, especially if the degree of cooling after dark sets in too quickly (or should moisture underperform somewhat). I wouldn't trust this in Dixie. Low level helicity rapidly increases post-00z with a 40-50 kt WSW LLJ and near southerly surface winds. Should we still have discrete, surface based cells by 01-02z, I would not be shocked to see a tornado or two (perhaps even a strong tornado) given favorable low level shear and considerable 0-3 km CAPE.
