Tornado watch extended until 4 a.m., more areas included

A tornado watch has been extended for the Charlotte region until 4 a.m. Wednesday. The weather system that could produce tornadoes swept into the region slower than expected.

The watch includes all counties in the Charlotte region except Anson, Stanly and Richmond. Basically, the watch covers the area from Union County westward.

Once we get past the stormy weather, chilly temperatures are coming.

Much of the explanation about this system is in my blog post from earlier today (see below).

We'll keep tabs on developments throughout the evening.
