A jog to the West and then it stalled this afternoon. The tracking is dependent on the interaction between the storm and the cold front that is moving through.
At 10PM CDT the storm was downgraded to a depression and all watches and warnings were cancelled. Dry air infiltration and wind shear are preventing any development.
