Areas affected...Southeast/Southern IN...Central KY
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely
Valid 201719Z - 201815Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...Increasing thunderstorm coverage anticipated. All severe
hazards are possible and a watch will likely be needed across
portions of the region.
DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms has developed across southeast IN
(about 40 mi south-southeast of IND) over the past hour. This
cluster appears to be within the diffuse warm frontal zone extending
across the region. Strong instability is present in the vicinity of
the storms, extending southwestward into western KY. However, given
the downstream cloudiness and ongoing precipitation, the instability
drops off quickly with MLCAPE below 500 J/kg by central OH. Ongoing
storms across OH suggest this warm front will remain relatively in
place for at least the next several hours. This will limit the
northeastern extent of the threat with storms likely weakening once
the move into central OH. Even so, airmass immediately surrounding
the cluster is supportive of strong updrafts and at least modest
storm organization. Primary severe threat with this activity is
large hail although some enhancement of the low-level vertical
vorticity is possible within this frontal zone, contributing to a
non-zero tornado risk.
Farther south/southwest (across southern IN and central KY), airmass
head continues to destabilize, evidenced but agitated cloud streaks
in the visible satellite imagery. Recent mesoanalysis also suggests
convective inhibition has eroded. In this area, surface-based storm
development may begin within the next hour or so as large-scale
forcing for ascent increases and surface confluence persists. All
severe hazards are possible here, including the potential for
tornadoes, particularly near the warm front extending across the
region. A watch will likely be needed to cover the anticipated
severe threat.
