"Damaging wind is the most likely impact from the storms (Sunday)," FOX Weather meteorologist Amy Freeze said.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, rain and thunderstorm activity is expected to pick up in intensity as we head into late Sunday morning and into the afternoon hours.
"Unfortunately, north of Nashville, through Hazard, one of the areas so hard-hit with flooding earlier this summer, now, more drenching rainstorms will be coming through," Freeze said.
The FOX Forecast Center isn't expecting high rain totals through Monday morning.
However, some parts of the Ohio Valley could pick up 1 to 2 inches of rain if stronger storms develop.
