Key Points

Severe weather is likely this afternoon into Friday morning (early)
This could be an all-night event. Have three to five ways of receiving your severe weather information. That includes my Beau Dodson Weather Talk app and a NOAA Weather Radio.
Tornadoes at night tend to cause more deaths. This is mainly because people are sleeping.

Call to action.

Monitor updated weather forecasts.

Remember, a watch means that conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms to form.

A warning means to take action. Seek shelter. A warning is more serious than a watch.

Make sure you are using the Weather Talk app. Download it from the app store. It is under Weather Talk.
