4:25pm - Tornado Watch issued

The Storm Prediction Center has issued Tornado Watch #298 for the entire Mid-South valid until midnight CDT. Storms are expected to start rapidly developing within a couple of hours as the warm front lifts through the metro area. Scattered, strong to severe, discrete cells will be likely for the next 5-6 hours until the main line of storms, likely also severe, passes through between 10pm-1am. The greatest threat of tornadoes will exist within these discrete cells, with damaging wind and hail the main threat with the squall line.
