Second Tornado Watch and Winter Storm Warning

Here is the second tornado watch of the day which is in effect until 2am Saturday.

There is a real risk of tornadoes during the night...one or two of which could be strong. I urge you to make sure you have at least two sources for tornado warnings; at least one of which can awaken you.

Also...a winter storm warning (pink) continues in parts of the central and northern Great Plains. More than a foot of snow is forecast.

Gray equals dense fog advisories. In some places, visibilities are 100 yards or less.
