Most of the NewsChannel 6 viewing area remains under a slight risk of severe thunderstorms tonight into early tomorrow morning.  Numerous tornado warnings have been issued to our south and west with this system, and conditions are still favorable for severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes over the next several hours across our region.  It still appears that these storms will move through our area late tonight and into the wee hours of tomorrow morning.  Although our area has been taken out of a moderate risk, atmospheric conditions are still ripe for storm development, and we will not be out of the woods until the cold front with this system passes through, which will likely be in the 2-4 am timeframe.  The Weather Authority team is tracking this system, and we'll keep you updated through the night.
