South of PA Beware…

Pretty much as we updated earlier that because the warm front never made it far enough north that this was going to cut down on the severe potential..

However to the south different story..

You can see where the warmer muggy air is currently and this will and is becoming the focus now for severe weather. SPC has issued a tornado watch until 10 AM EDT..
