Areas affected...Portions of far southeast Missouri...southern Illinois...southwest Indiana...northern into central Kentucky
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 251942Z - 252145Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Discrete convection, with the potential to exhibit
occasional low-level rotation, will continue to develop over the
next few hours. A brief tornado cannot be ruled out with the more
long-lived, intense updrafts. The sparse nature of the severe threat
precludes a WW issuance at this time.
DISCUSSION...A 1004 mb surface low, located across southeast
Missouri, is gradually translating northeast in tandem with a
mid-level shortwave trough. Mid-level CVA immediately east of the
surface low, along with modest surface heating, has contributed to
convective development over the last few hours, particularly within
close proximity of a surface warm front.
Along/immediately south of the aforementioned front, the lowest
300-mb of the atmosphere may be characterized by modest low-level
lapse rates of 6.5-7.0 C/km, that combined with relatively deep
low-level moisture, is fostering 0-3km CAPE values within the
150-200 J/kg range. In addition, higher values of surface vertically
oriented vorticity and low-level convergence have been noted within
relatively close proximity of the surface low, along the warm front,
and in association with smaller scale baroclinic zones generated
along the edges of differential surface heating (via insolation).
Given the higher values of low-level CAPE, strong updraft
accelerations within 1-3 km AGL are possible with individual cells
that have the chance to organize, with the propensity to stretch the
ambient vertical vorticity along any of the aforementioned
boundaries. As such, a few of the strongest storms may acquire
low-level rotation, and a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.
Given the isolated nature of the severe threat, a WW issuance is not
expected at this time.
