    Areas affected...Portions of far eastern IL into IN...western
    OH...and far northern KY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely=20

    Valid 211700Z - 211900Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Continuing to monitor a line of thunderstorms moving
    across Illinois for signs of increasing intensity and damaging wind
    potential. Watch issuance appears increasingly likely in the next
    couple of hours.

    DISCUSSION...A cluster of thunderstorms is present over parts of southern/central IL at 17Z. This line has remained sub-severe so
    far, with wind gusts generally in the 35-45 kt range. Still, the
    airmass downstream into IN and northern KY continues to destabilize
    along and south of a front. MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg has become
    common as temperatures warm into the 70s and 80s. Recent
    high-resolution guidance suggests that this ongoing cluster will
    intensify over the next couple of hours as it moves eastward across
    IN, northern KY, and eventually parts of western OH. Gradually
    strengthening southwesterly flow through mid levels is noted on
    recent VWPs from KVWX/KIND, which should aid in thunderstorm
    organization. Current expectations are for the cluster to pose a
    gradually increasing threat for scattered damaging winds as it
    encounters a more unstable airmass in IN and vicinity. Some hail may
    also occur with the strongest updrafts. Accordingly, Severe
    Thunderstorm Watch issuance appears likely in the next hour or two.

    Areas affected...West Central/Northwest Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 234...

    Valid 240439Z - 240615Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 234
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Strong/severe thunderstorms will progress across the
    remainder of ww234 over the next several hours. Wind/hail threat
    continues. Local extensions or a small severe thunderstorm watch may
    be warranted.

    DISCUSSION...Weak mid-level disturbance that drifted into the
    southern High Plains this afternoon appears partly responsible for
    the MCS that evolved over the TX South Plains early this evening.
    This complex of storms has matured into a large conglomerate of
    convection that extends across much of the central/western portions
    of ww234. Northwesterly flow at mid levels should aid southeastward
    propagation along the instability axis, which extends into the
    northern Hill Country. While some hail is noted in the stronger
    updrafts, convective mode favors strong winds, especially along the
    leading edge of the MCS where where bow-type structures continue to
    develop at times. At this time it appears the strongest convection
    will continue to drive toward the southeastern portions of the
    watch.
