   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles
   east and west of a line from 50 miles north of Cincinnati OH to 25

   of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
   WOU8).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
   tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
   area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
   threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
   and possible warnings.

   &&

   OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 75...WW 76...WW 77...

Atmosphere is starting to destabilize in SW OH, I think we're going to see some decent destabilization across central to southern Ohio by the time storms get there.

There have been a couple tornado touchdowns in northeast IL.  That area was not even in the 2% tornado area.

This event is busting. Not one single tornado warning right now & plenty of storms. I know it can change but....

I agree and am glad it has.  The 18z HRRR is a very drastic from yesterday.
