Current radar (through 4:50 ET)

Only a few severe thunderstorm warnings but SPC forecasters expect these supercells to intensify with potential for tornadoes.

The frontal boundary has 2 active Tornado Watch Boxes (107/109) until late this evening (11 PM ET)

SPC Enhanced Risk through Friday morning
