Areas affected...Central Kentucky to western West Virginia and far
southern Ohio
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20
Valid 171909Z - 172115Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorm intensification is possible through the mid
afternoon as storms migrate northeast into the upper Ohio River
Valley. Trends will continue to be monitored, and a watch is
possible if a severe threat becomes apparent.
DISCUSSION...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms have begun to
develop across central KY and far northern TN over the past 30-60
minutes. While this activity is currently fairly shallow and weak
(based on IR and lightning trends), gradual intensification is
possible through the mid afternoon. Visible imagery show some degree
of clearing downstream across eastern KY and western WV with surface temperatures responding by warming into the low 80s. Areas of
shallow cumulus are also noted, which is further indication of
boundary-layer destabilization. Lift ahead of an upstream MCV will
help maintain the ongoing convection and may support additional
development. Mean flow along the general axis of initiation suggests
gradual upscale growth into one or more clusters is likely. Recent
reflectivity trends show some interactions already ongoing, which
supports this idea and may be indicative of an increasing wind
threat downstream if convection can intensify. The degree of organization/intensification (and the subsequent severe threat)
remains somewhat uncertain given the modest effective-layer shear
(estimated to be around 20-25 knots based on regional ACARs
soundings and latest VWP observations). Trends will continue to be
monitored, and a watch is possible if sufficient storm organization/intensification occurs.
