   VALID 261724Z - 261930Z

   PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT

   SUMMARY...RISK FOR LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS AND MARGINAL HAIL
   CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY INCREASE ACROSS A BROAD PORTION OF THE
   MIDWEST.  WW MAY BE NEEDED IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO.

   DISCUSSION...LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS BROKEN CLOUD COVER FROM
   SRN LOWER MI SWD ACROSS OH AND PORTIONS OF INDIANA INTO KY.  GIVEN
   THE RELATIVELY MOIST /MID 60S DEWPOINTS/ BOUNDARY LAYER IN
   PLACE...HEATING THROUGH THE CLOUD BREAKS IS ALLOWING THE AIRMASS TO

   UNIDIRECTIONAL WITH HEIGHT...SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT FOR ORGANIZED
   UPDRAFTS.  THUS -- EXPECT SOME RISK FOR LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS AND
   POSSIBLY MARGINAL HAIL TO EVOLVE AS STORMS INCREASE IN INTENSITY IN
   CONJUNCTION WITH CONTINUED AIRMASS DESTABILIZATION.  RISK MAY
   WARRANT WW ISSUANCE WITH IN THE NEXT HOUR.
