Tornado Watch Until 6 AM

A Tornado Watch has been issued for communities mainly south of I-64 and is in effect until 6 AM. The main threat will be powerful straight-line winds with the strongest storms, but there is enough "twist" in the atmosphere that an isolated weak tornado could also form. I will be tracking storms for the rest of this morning and will bring you the very latest when conditions warrant.

A cold front will move through Saturday night, bringing milder temperatures for Mother's Day, and dry weather for Mom!
