   Areas affected...northern Kentucky...far southeast Indiana and
   southwest Ohio

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 62...

   Valid 031940Z - 032245Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 62 continues.

   SUMMARY...A corridor of severe wind or brief tornado potential may
   materialize through 00Z as the low travels northeastward toward
   southwest Ohio.

   DISCUSSION...A small arcing line of storms persists ahead of the
   surface low, extending from southern Indiana toward the Louisville
   KY area. This activity will continue to pose a damaging wind threat,
   and a brief tornado remains possible as well as the line intersects
   the warm front with enhanced shear and lift.

   A leading area of rain and thunderstorms has limited destabilization
   ahead of the cold pocket aloft, and a dry slot is further eroding
   the moist layer from the southwest. As such, the area of severe
   potential appears to be dwindling over time.

   However, the low remains very strong, and cooling aloft will still
   overspread the warm front as it lifts across northern Kentucky and
   perhaps into far southwest Ohio after 21Z. As such, a new watch will
   need to be considered just north of the existing watch.
