Areas affected...Portions of southern IN...western KY...far southern
IL...far southeast MO...northwest TN
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 072257Z - 080100Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Convection spreading across portions of the lower OH
Valley region and vicinity into the early evening hours could become
locally severe. However, the conditional nature of the severe risk,
and limited temporal window for such risk, along with the
anticipated limited coverage of the risk, should preclude Watch
issuance.
DISCUSSION...Convection developing along a wind-shift boundary
extending from west-central IN to far southern IL is producing
lightning north of the Paducah area. Recent visible satellite
imagery indicates shallow convective turrets evolving farther north
along this boundary in south-central IN. This activity lies along a
segment of the boundary that is intercepting a weakly destabilized
boundary-layer owing to antecedent insolation. There is some
potential for convection to continue to locally intensify prior to
nocturnal cooling and stabilization, while spreading
eastward/east-southeastward. Given the presence of around 150-250
m2/s2 of effective SRH and adequate deep shear, the risk for a
tornado or damaging wind gust cannot be entirely ruled out. However,
veered pre-frontal flow resulting in weak frontal convergence
(especially with southward extent) coupled with convectively
recycled air constituting inflow within the warm sector, should tend
to temper the severe risk and minimize convective coverage.
