The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued the first Tornado watch of the day for parts of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas.  This Tornado watch is valid until 6PM CDT for these areas.  A line of storms has developed along the frontal boundary and is rapidly progressing to the ENE.  It is likely that supercell thunderstorms will develop quickly out in front of the main line of storms.  More watches are likely as well as warnings so stay tuned for updates.  If you live in any the the affected areas please stay abreast of the local forecast as this is a very dangerous situation.
