Areas affected...Southern Indiana...Far Northern Kentucky

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 132251Z - 140045Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...A severe threat with potential for wind damage and large
hail will continue across parts of the Ohio Valley to the north of
WW 125. Weather watch may need to be considered this evening across
the area.

DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery from Louisville, Kentucky
shows a north-to-south convective line with strong to severe
thunderstorms located within it. The northern end of the line is in
southern Indiana, where instability is weak. The RAP is analyzing a
narrow corridor of instability from central Kentucky into far
southern Indiana with MLCAPE estimated in the 500 to 700 J/kg range.
In addition, the WSR-88D VWP at Louisville has 0-6 shear around 65
knots with some turning of the winds with height in the lowest 2 km.
This combined with the instability should be enough to continue a
severe threat in southern Indiana early this evening. The threat
could affect far northern Kentucky as the line moves eastward. At
this time, there is some uncertainty as to how long the severe
threat will persist. If it looks line can remain organized over the
next hour, then weather watch issuance will need to be considered.
