0630 PM CDT Wed May 22 2024
Areas affected...Portions of northern and western Kentucky...far
southeastern Indiana...and southwest Ohio
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 222330Z - 230100Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...A line of thunderstorms extending southwest to northeast
along a cold front/surface trough have rapidly developed early this
evening, with a couple of more robust updrafts noted near the KY/IN
border. A few supercells will be possible over the next 3 hours.
DISCUSSION...Enhanced surface convergence along a cold front near
the KY/IN border has led to the development of a line of
thunderstorms. An instability axis is noted along and ahead of this
zone, where MLCAPE is around 2000 J/kg. Localized deep layer shear
is sufficient for some storm organization, and a few embedded
supercells will be possible through at least sunset. Waning
instability through the evening, and a linear mode, should keep the
severe hail threat localized. A severe damaging wind threat may
accompany larger clusters or a bowing segment or two. Convective
trends will be monitored for a possible watch.
