   Mesoscale Discussion 0037
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1135 AM CST Sat Jan 11 2020

   Areas affected...Southern OH...Central/eastern KY

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 14...

   Valid 111735Z - 111900Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 14
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Localized damaging wind threat continues with weakening
   line of convection. Downstream watch issuance is not currently
   anticipated.

   DISCUSSION...At 1730Z, a weakening line of convection is moving
   eastward across KY and southwest OH. Instability is negligible
   across this area, resulting in a loss of lightning activity over the
   past hour with the line. Strong wind fields remain in place
   downstream of ongoing convection, with non-thunderstorm wind gusts
   in the 40-55 mph range noted across areas where some boundary-layer
   heating/mixing has occurred. While a general slow weakening trend is
   expected to continue, some potential for damaging wind gusts will
   remain with any stronger convective elements, given the strong
   background wind field and steepening low-level lapse rates. 

   Some potential for damaging gusts will likely spread east of WW 14
   with the next 1-2 hours. Downstream watch issuance is not currently
   expected given the weakening trends noted above, but local watch
   extension is a possibility to cover any short-term threats.
