Tornado Watch Will Be Allowed to Expire at 1 am; No New Watch Expected
The severe threat has decreased over the past couple of hours or so, and a new watch to replace the Tornado Watch at 1 am is not expected. Conditions may remain just limited enough that storms will be held under severe limits.
The storms on the northern side of the system are elevated, so just expect rain and thunder with those, while the southern storms still have enough instability to work with, enough for gusty winds and small hail to be possible. The wind flow at the lower levels has almost become parallel to the line of storms, and that greatly suppresses a tornado threat.
