Southern part of system has been slow to develope, but should become quite active in the next few hours. 1st round of storms mentioned earlier will not be a factor. Activity will be concentrated on both sides of the cold front scheduled to arrive in area around 6 AM.

Thus, 4-7 AM looks to be “prime time” for severe weather. This system is packed with energy, so strong to very strong winds (50-75 mph) will be possible. In addition, hail will be possible. Some tornadoes are likely to be scattered across the area.

Tornado Watch until 6 AM. Storm Prediction Center puts us at a moderate risk for high winds, hail, tornadoes and strong tornadoes (EF 2 or higher). Widespread power outages are expected

Keep alert for possible warnings late tonight.
