((Just checked as some alerts got pulled by early this morning. Most of them have now returned, as the Storm Prediction Center did not back off overnight. SPC to update tornado/wind/etc. threats by 9 am EDT.))

1. NWS forecasters are backing off a bit on severe weather threat for today for that area

BUT not ruling it out.

Go to NWS's weather forecast map https://www.weather.gov/

click on your area, then hover over "forecasts" and click on "forecasters' discussion" for their latest guesses.

2. NWS's Storm Prediction Center update a few minutes ago: no real change
