NWS: Video confirms tornado in Portersville, Butler County Tuesday<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe still have that severe thunderstorm watch that is out from Beaver, Allegheny, Westmoreland counties points towards the south, but of course areas farther north we’ll see that next wave get hit first, as we will be monitoring those conditions as we continue here over the next several hours. This watch set to expire at 8 o’clock tonight, and it’s not, of course, just severe thunderstorm activity, but also flash flooding. We were dealing with that warning down in parts of Washington, Greene County. More of us that includes now Beaver Armstrong and also, uh, Butler, Indiana County. Under *** flood watch and that will extend through 11 o’clock tonight. So still storm threats are out there. Storm Prediction Center continues to cut back those areas of prime real estate for severe weather. Of course we were tracking those tornado warnings down into northern West Virginia, but still strong winds, especially with the secondary wave that’s going to be coming in. It will be more scattered, unlike these lines and more training storms that we’ve been dealing with through the course of the afternoon. So that will extend through this evening and still that flooding threat ever present all across the region as we go through the rest of the night.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
