PDS Tornado Watch Until 7pm

PDS = "particularly dangerous situation," which a rare tornado watch. There are entire years without one being issued. The NWS says, "numerous strong tornadoes" are forecast to occur. 

In addition, hail up to 2" and thunderstorm-generated wind gusts up to 70 mph are forecast.

Now is the time for people to begin watching the weather continuously in this area. If you live in a mobile home, find other shelter.
