Areas affected...southern Indiana into central Kentucky

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 569...

Valid 301708Z - 301915Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 569
continues.

SUMMARY...Damaging wind potential will continue and possibly
increase over the next couple of hours. Additional watch expansion
across central Kentucky may be needed.

DISCUSSION...Additional storms are developing just ahead of a
cluster near the Ohio River in a moderately unstable environment.
Vertical shear is somewhat muted across central KY, however, locally
enhanced shear associated with the cluster and embedded MCV will
likely compensate for otherwise weaker background shear. This is
evident in VWP data from KVWX where rear inflow of 45-55 kt is noted
between 4-6 km. This should aid in continued organized strong to
severe convection as these storms track southeast around 35 kt.
Damaging wind will continue to be the main hazard with this
activity, and additional expansion of Severe thunderstorm Watch 569
across central Kentucky is possible.
