.DISCUSSION...
Radar is currently clear in and around Cades Cove. However, there
are a few isolated showers and storms just west of Knoxville. The
thinking is that this activity will stay north of Cades Cove, but
if they do develop further south it will be a few hours before
Cades Cove sees any impacts. The rest of the day features chances
for additional isolated showers and storms this afternoon, with
chances increasing this evening for more widespread showers and
storms.
.REST OF TODAY...

and thunderstorms.
