There is no lightning indicated. In fact the lightning in almost all of the big area of precipitation has diminished. The Severe Thunderstorm Watch is no longer in effect.

The cold front has passed Muscle Shoals Shoals and their temperature has dropped to 61. It is in the low and mid 40sacross West Tennessee, in the 20s over most of Missouri and below freezing over North Arkansas.
