SUMMARY…Tornado watch 23 will be allowed to expire at 17Z. A downstream watch is not likely in the near term.
DISCUSSION…Convection has weakened across tornado watch 23 with little if any lightning remaining. No additional storm intensification is expected in the next few hours. Therefore, the tornado watch will be allowed to expire at 17Z with no downstream watch likely in the near term. An additional tornado watch may be needed by later this afternoon in at least portions of this area as low-level moisture advection and heating through breaks in the clouds leads to some destabilization.
