Areas affected...portions of central and eastern Kentucky into far
southern Ohio
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20
Valid 262200Z - 270000Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...A recent uptick in storm organization suggests some
potential for isolated damaging wind gusts and a brief tornado with
better structured storms late this afternoon and into this evening
across parts of central and eastern Kentucky. Uncertainty on the
longevity and severity of the threat remains high as storms move
northeastward.
DISCUSSION...As of 22z regional radar showed several clusters of
storms ongoing across parts of central and eastern KY. Within these
clusters, periodic supercell and bowing structures have emerged over
the last hour suggesting some local enhancement of severe potential
over the next hour or two. Breaks in widespread cloud cover across
the central Appalachians and Ohio Valley have allowed for modest destabilization (MLCAPE ~500 J/kg) this afternoon, and may continue
to support occasional stronger updrafts into early evening.
Deep-layer shear (35-45 kt) within expansive southerly mid-level
flow also remains supportive of occasional supercells and bowing
structures.
The ongoing uptick in storm organization and recent report of a
tornado in Bell County, KY suggests a few damaging wind gusts and a
brief tornado will be possible with the more organized storms into
early evening. The longevity of this threat however, remains highly
uncertain as convection continues northeastward toward the OH River.
Here, surface obs show a more stable environment north of the river
suggesting storms should decrease in intensity as they approach.
While conditions will be monitored, uncertainty on the longevity of
the severe threat suggests weather watch issuance is unclear.
