CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 021628Z - 021730Z

CONVECTIVE INITIATION IS APPEARING MORE LIKELY OVER PARTS OF NERN AR
OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HRS. THE STRONGEST STORMS COULD POSE A THREAT FOR
DMGG WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND POSSIBLY A TORNADO. CONVECTIVE TRENDS
ARE BEING MONITORED FOR POSSIBLE WW ISSUANCE.

UNO TO 20 E HOT...AND A TRAILING COLD FRONT ENTERING NWRN AR...WITH
A LINE OF TOWERING CU FORMING ALONG THE EWD MOVING DRYLINE. GLANCING
INFLUENCE OF AN UPPER IMPULSE /CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER SERN KS/NERN

WITH AMPLE DIABATIC HEATING AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE...SHOULD SUPPORT
TSTM DEVELOPMENT AS THE ENVIRONMENT BECOMES INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE

OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS FIELDS/. STRONG DEEP-LAYER SHEAR IS ALSO PRESENT
AS A MIDLEVEL JET IS POSITIONED ACROSS THE NRN AR/SRN MO...FAVORABLE
FOR ROTATING STORMS. TSTM COVERAGE IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN AT THIS
POINT AS THE STRONGEST LARGE-SCALE ASCENT WILL BE FOCUSED N OF THE

A high school reportedly destroyed. 5 years ago it happened in Enterprise, AL - not again!!!

And it would be during school hours too unless its Spring break or something.

[EF-5bigj]

I hate to hear about that kind of stuff happening

[brunota2003]

The HIGH risk has been expanded in the 1630Z update.

AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF ERN IND...NERN KY...MUCH OF OH AND
ADJACENT WEST VIRGINIA

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY

VALID 021630Z - 021800Z

A WATCH IS NOT NECESSARILY ANTICIPATED IN THE NEAR TERM...BUT ONE
PROBABLY WILL BE NEEDED LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

THE SEVERE HAIL POTENTIAL ASSOCIATED WITH STORMS SPREADING
NORTHEASTWARD WITHIN AN ELEVATED WARM ADVECTION REGIME...IN ADVANCE
OF THE SURFACE WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTHWARD THROUGH THE OHIO
VALLEY...MAY BE LIMITED ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH ISSUANCE. HOWEVER...THE RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AS THE WARM SECTOR OF A DEEP SURFACE
CYCLONE...MIGRATING NORTHEAST OF THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO
THE GREAT LAKES REGION...ADVECTS NORTHEAST OF THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY.
AT THE PRESENT TIME...IT APPEARS THAT A TORNADO WATCH COULD BECOME
NECESSARY CLOSER TO THE 21-22Z TIME FRAME.
