   Areas affected...Southern Illinois into central/southern Indiana

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 43...44...

   Valid 150020Z - 150145Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 43, 44 continues.

   SUMMARY...All severe hazards remain possible. The tornado threat
   will be conditional on storms remaining discrete. With time,
   damaging winds and isolated large hail will become the primary
   hazards.

   DISCUSSION...Storm mode has become less discrete over the last
   couple of hours. However, supercell structures remain in southern
   Illinois. Locally backed surface winds in southern Illinois will
   promote a slightly greater tornado risk in that area ahead of the
   supercells. The tornado threat will be generally conditional on
   maintaining a discrete storm mode. Otherwise, with time, damaging
   winds will likely become the primary threat. Large hail would still
   be possible, but would be more isolated given the less favorable
   storm mode expected.
