0145 PM CDT SUN JUL 03 2016

AREAS AFFECTED...LOWER OH VALLEY

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 031845Z - 032045Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT

SUMMARY...THE RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND A TORNADO SHOULD INCREASE
BY LATE AFTERNOON AS MULTIPLE CLUSTERS OF STORMS DEVELOP ALONG AND
SOUTH OF A WARM FRONT.

DISCUSSION...A SHORT-LINE SEGMENT HAS PERSISTED DOWNSTREAM OF AN MCV
CENTERED OVER SOUTHEAST MO...WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS INITIATING
SOUTHWARD INTO THE MID-SOUTH ALONG A WEAK CONFLUENCE AXIS. IN SPITE
OF POOR MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...AIR MASS AHEAD OF THIS ACTIVITY HAS
BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT THAT ARCS OVER
FAR SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND ACROSS SOUTHERN KENTUCKY. WITH A BELT OF
ENHANCED LOW/MID-LEVEL WEST-SOUTHWESTERLIES ATTENDANT TO THE MCV /AS
SAMPLED BY RECENT PAH VWP DATA/...DEEP-LAYER SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT FOR
ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS. A MESSY CLUSTER-TYPE MODE SHOULD DOMINATE WITHIN
THIS SETUP...WITH EMBEDDED SMALL-SCALE BOWING SEGMENTS AND TRANSIENT
SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED DAMAGING WINDS WILL
LIKELY BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD...BUT A TORNADO IS ALSO POSSIBLE
PARTICULARLY NEAR THE WARM FRONT IN THE IL/KY/IND BORDER REGION.
