A tornado watch has been issued for Hartford and Litchfield counties until 10 p.m.

Post-tropical cyclone Debby is heading to our west and as it moves by, the storm brings the possibility of spinning up a tornado.

Debby's remnants triggered several tornado warnings south of us in the greater Washington, D.C. area Friday morning.
