This is NOT a PDS watch at this time, but that doesn't mean that you should take it any less seriously.  Have a good source of weather and warning info close by you.  Branch and Hillsdale Counties continue to be under a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Tornado Watch until 5 PM.  See the maps:

Branch & Hillsdale, you're in this PDS Watch.

All other counties in the blog, you're in on this watch.
