The NWS has placed Jefferson County in a Tornado Watch until 9pm. Below is the current graphic from the Storm Prediction Center.
We are still looking at the potential for strong thunderstorms to develop in the area later this afternoon. The red shaded area of the graphic is where I am expecting the cells to develop. Once the cells develop they should move to the Northeast rapidly. Large hail and damaging winds are still the greatest threats, but with the winds, there is a chance that the cells could become tornadic.
Below is the current hail probability graphic.
Here is the current damaging wind probability graphic.
