    Areas affected...Central and Eastern Kansas...Southeast
    Nebraska...Southwest Iowa

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 59...

    Valid 012200Z - 020000Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 59 continues.

    SUMMARY...The tornado threat across southeastern Nebraska and
    north-central Kansas is expected to increase over the next couple of
    hours. Large hail and wind damage will be likely with the stronger
    storms as the activity move eastward across tornado watch 59 through
    early evening.

    DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a cold front moving southeastward across south-central Nebraska and northwest Kansas. A
    dryline extends southward from the front across west-central Kansas.
    A narrow corridor of maximized low-level moisture is present ahead
    of the dryline from north-central Oklahoma into north-central Kansas
    where surface dewpoints are generally in the lower to mid 60s F.
    This combined with surface heating has resulted in moderate
    instability with the RAP showing MLCAPE of 2000 to 3000 J/kg.

    Radar imagery shows a line of semi-discrete storms ongoing along the
    western edge of moderate instability from near Hastings, NE to just
    east of Dodge City, KS. The cells within the line will continue to
    move eastward into stronger instability and should gradually
    intensify. Due to the instability, steep mid-level lapse rates of
    8.5 to 9.0 C/km and strong deep-layer shear evident on the Hastings
    WSR-88D VWP, hailstones of greater than 2 inches in diameter will be
    possible with the stronger supercells. In addition, a 40 to 50 kt
    low-level jet is forecast to rapidly strengthen across central and
    eastern Kansas into southeast Nebraska early this evening. For this
    reason, low-level shear will become increasingly favorable for
    tornadoes. 0-3 km storm-relative helicities are forecast to increase
    into the 400 to 500 m2/s2 range suggesting that a strong tornado or
    two will be possible as well.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0307

    Areas affected...far southeastern Indiana...northern Kentucky...and southwestern into central Ohio

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 121118Z - 121315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Damaging wind gusts and small hail are possible with the
    strongest storms as they travel north-northeastward across the
    discussion area. A WW issuance is unlikely at this time, though
    Marginal severe wind probabilities are forthcoming in the 13Z
    convective outlook.

    DISCUSSION...Convection has gradually increased over the past hour
    across western and southern portions of the discussion area. One
    storm along the front in north-central Kentucky (SDF) has produced a
    51-knot wind gust the last hour. Instability is meager (generally
    around 250 J/kg MUCAPE maximum based on mesoanalyses), but forcing
    for ascent associated with a mid-level vortmax centered over
    Illinois and low-level convergence along and ahead of the front were
    overcoming the weak instability. With deep, lightning-producing
    convection occurring in a strongly sheared environment with 60-80 kt
    mid-level flow, isolated severe wind gusts may continue over the
    next two to three hours. The Cincinnati Metro area may experience a
    few of these gusts over the next hour or so.

    Some weak rotation was noted in cells out ahead of the
    linear/frontal convection over central Kentucky, which isn't
    surprising given strong low-level shear in these areas. While a
    brief tornado cannot be ruled out here, this threat should be
    marginal at best over the next few hours as well.

    Given overall convective trends, a WW issuance is not currently
    anticipated. However, portions of Ohio and northeastern Kentucky
    will likely be upgraded to 5%/Marginal severe wind probabilities in
    the upcoming 13Z convective outlook.
