Stay tuned to your local weather stations and National Weather Service for more weather updates.  Impending hazardous weather means the possibility of dangerous weather is high.  Take time to make sure your weather apps are updated, volume is turned up on your phones and check your Norton Weather Radios to make sure they are set, volume is up and they are operating.
If you have elderly neighbors or parents check to be sure they are aware of the impending hazardous weather.  If they have a Norton Weather Radio check to make sure it is set correctly to alert them in the event of a Tornado Warning or other hazardous weather.
Tennesseans, it’s going to be one of those nights, stay warm, updated and remember…
Tennessee Weather changes by the day, so don’t be dismayed, tomorrow it will probably change!  -Tonya Steele, Cheatham News

I’m a dedicated, fair and objective reporter/journalist currently reporting and writing for the I-24 Exchange Newspaper, circulated and distributed each week to nearly 10000 residential mailboxes, in Northern Cheatham County, Tennessee. My main objective for Cheatham News is to provide current news coverage with a wide range of compelling topics that interest the youth of today, elderly and everyone in between through an online platform. Cheatham News will focus on local and county news including politics, breaking news, community schools, sports, city and county council meetings but there’ll be more the local news. I aspire to focus on what life is like, in our little corner of the world, where my family and I live in a small southern town. The southern sayins’, ole wives tales, recipes and mannerisms are a part of history I’d like to keep alive in the fast paced world of today. It brings me joy to share the uniqueness of life in a small southern town.
