   Areas affected...portions of east-central KY

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 561...

   Valid 110851Z - 110945Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 561 continues.

   SUMMARY...Damaging wind gusts and a tornado or two remain possible
   across WW 561.

   DISCUSSION...A supercell over Marion County Kentucky has shown
   periods of strong rotation with a tornado debris signature noted
   over the past 15-30 minutes. Rotation associated with this storm has
   recently weakened as it continues northeast into eastern portions of
   the Louisville CWA. This is likely due to weaker low-level
   instability as surface dewpoints drop off rather quickly from the
   mid 60s to upper 50s/low 60s. While the cluster of storms over
   central KY may still produce strong, damaging gusts, the narrowing
   warm sector downstream may begin to limit stronger tornado potential
   over the next 1-2 hours.
