They followed up those warnings with updates on the location of the tornado and the numerous funnel clouds spotted with the various storms. <BR><BR>While the NWS was on their game&#8230; where was the Storm Prediction Center in all this?

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible along this boundary. The best chance for&nbsp; this action will be across the east where some of the storms may be strong or severe.<BR><BR>&#8211; Much cooler air moves in for Friday. Temps will likely stay in the 70s for many.

We will need to watch for some storms trying to work in from the west and northwest at some point.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>&#8211; The pattern from late weekend into early next week looks similar to the one we went through this past weekend into early this week. The heat is going to try to bulge northward across the plains as clusters of thunderstorms rolls southeastward around the outer edge of the heat.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Back to the threat of storms today and the tools you need to follow them&#8230;<\/P><br \/>\n<P><STRONG>Today&#8217;s Severe Weather Threat<BR><\/STRONG><A href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/outlook\/day1otlk.html\"><STRONG><IMG alt=\"Latest Day 1 convective outlook\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/outlook\/day1otlk-overview.gif\" width=582 height=408><\/STRONG><\/A><BR><BR><STRONG>Current Watches<BR><\/STRONG><A href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/watch\/\"><STRONG><IMG alt=\"Current Watches\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/watch\/validww.png\" width=582 height=408><\/STRONG><\/A><BR><BR><BR><IMG alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=LVX&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1272129536&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\"><BR><BR><IMG alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=JKL&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1272129776&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\"><BR><BR><IMG src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=PAH&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1293824059&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\"><BR><BR><A href=\"http:\/\/www.accuweather.com\/radar-large.asp?partner=netweather&amp;traveler=0&amp;site=KY_&amp;type=SIR&amp;anim=1&amp;level=state&amp;large=1#\" s_oc=\"null\"><STRONG><IMG class=radar_img_6x4 alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" useMap=#largemap><\/STRONG><\/A><BR><BR>I will have updates as needed so check back.
