Good late evening bloggers,
Thunderstorms are scattered all over the place. Some of them have the potential to produce large hail, about quarter size. I still think this will evolve into a larger area of rain between now and 4 AM and the cold front will move through this area of rain and thunderstorms. There is a tornado watch until 5 AM. We are monitoring this situation closely, but the main threat is hail tonight and the threat should be reduced as the area of thunderstorms grows in coverage.
Let me know what you are experiencing. I really appreciate it. All of the severe thunderstorm warnings have expired. If there was going to be a serious tornado threat the first thunderstorms that formed would have evolved into supercells by now. This has not happened and the threat is very minimal the rest of the night. There is still potential for flooding by morning.
