Areas affected...Parts of southeast Missouri...northeast
Arkansas...western Tennessee and Kentucky...and adjacent portions of
southern Indiana

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 191735Z - 191930Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...A further increase in thunderstorm intensity and
organization appears possible through 3-5 PM CDT.  This may be
accompanied by an increase in severe weather potential which could
require a watch within the next couple of hours.

DISCUSSION...An ongoing increase in thunderstorm development appears
to be associated with a secondary band of large-scale ascent
pivoting from the Ozark Plateau into the lower Ohio Valley, within
the leading edge of larger-scale low-amplitude mid/upper troughing.
As this is occurring, inhibition for seasonably moist boundary layer
parcels continues to weaken in response to insolation, with
mixed-layer CAPE approaching 2000 J/kg.  At the same time, westerly
deep-layer ambient mean fields and vertical shear are also beginning
to increase, as a 40-50 kt 500 mb speed maximum gradually propagates
eastward from the south central Plains.

Into mid to late afternoon, the environment across western into
central (middle) Kentucky and Tennessee, and surrounding portions of
the lower Ohio Valley, may become conducive to increasingly
organized convection.  It is possible that this may include a few
supercell structures, then perhaps one or two upscale growing
clusters of storms accompanied primarily by a risk for potentially
damaging wind gusts.
