Fans who are attending the OVC Men's and Women's Basketball Championship semifinals on Friday (March 2) are asked to keep an eye on the weather as severe storms are forecast for the Nashville and middle Tennessee area.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has said that "atmospheric conditions today across middle Tennessee are prime to produce significantly severe weather and tornados this evening and afternoon." The NWS has raised the severe weather threat from moderate to high risk in all of northern middle Tennessee.

As of now, games are still as scheduled, with the women's semifinals to be played at Noon and 2 p.m. CT and the men's semifinals to be played at 6 and 8 p.m. CT.

The Ohio Valley Conference asks fans to be cautious with their approach to the severe weather and to heed all warnings from the National Weather Service. Please check weather updates before heading to the arena.
