   ...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE OHIO VALLEY THIS
   AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...
   
   THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
   DEVELOPMENT OF TORNADOES...DAMAGING WIND...AND HAIL OVER PARTS OF
   THE OHIO VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
   
   THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE
   
          INDIANA
          KENTUCKY
          OHIO
   
   SURROUNDING THE MODERATE RISK AREA...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF
   SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...OZARKS AND
   LOWER TENNESSEE VALLEY TO THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
   
   A STRONG JET STREAM DISTURBANCE...IN CONJUNCTION WITH DAYTIME
   HEATING AND THE PERSISTENT INFLOW OF WARM AND MOIST AIR NEAR THE
   SURFACE...WILL SET THE STAGE FOR INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
   THE OHIO VALLEY TODAY. 
   
   THE STORMS...INCLUDING SUPERCELLS WITH HIGH WIND...HAIL AND
   TORNADOES...LIKELY WILL FORM IN SEVERAL BANDS FROM SOUTHERN LOWER
   MICHIGAN SOUTHWESTWARD INTO INDIANA...SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND WESTERN
   OHIO BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. OTHER INTENSE STORMS MAY FORM A BIT
   LATER IN THE DAY OVER WESTERN AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY AND WESTERN
   TENNESSEE.  SOME OF THE ACTIVITY COULD REMAIN STRONG INTO THE
   NIGHT...SPREADING GENERALLY EAST AND SOUTH TO THE WESTERN SLOPES OF
   THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS.
   
   WHILE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SEVERE THREAT IS EXPECTED TO BE DAMAGING
   STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AS THE STORMS ORGANIZE INTO LINES...INDIVIDUAL
   CELLS COULD PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND A FEW STRONG TORNADOES...
   ESPECIALLY DURING THEIR EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT IN WESTERN
   OHIO...INDIANA AND WESTERN/NORTHERN KENTUCKY.
   
   THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER
   SAFETY RULES AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA WEATHER
   RADIO FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.
