CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 271849Z - 272045Z

CONVECTION IS BEGINNING TO DEEPEN/INTENSIFY ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
MID MS VALLEY...ESPECIALLY FROM SERN MO INTO SRN IL. THIS ACTIVITY
IS EVOLVING WITHIN A VERY BUOYANT AIRMASS CHARACTERIZED BY STEEP LOW
LEVEL LAPSE RATES...ON THE ORDER OF 8 C/KM IN THE LOWEST 3KM...AND
MLCAPE VALUES OF ROUGHLY 2500 J/KG. LATEST VIS IMAGERY AND LONGER
RADAR LOOPS SUGGEST TWO REMNANT MCS VORT CENTERS ARE LOCATED JUST NW
OF SGF AND NEAR LIT. WITH BOUNDARY LAYER EXPECTED TO FURTHER
DESTABILIZE IT APPEARS A RATHER BROAD SWATH OF ENHANCED THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY WILL EVOLVE FROM NERN AR...NEWD INTO PORTIONS OF SRN
IL/IND...PARTLY DRIVEN BY AFOREMENTIONED UPPER VORT MAXIMA...BUT IN
LARGE PART BY AFTERNOON HEATING. GIVEN THE WEAK SHEAR ENVIRONMENT
IT APPEARS DOWNBURSTS OR PERHAPS SOME HAIL MAY ACCOMPANY THE
STRONGEST ACTIVITY. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS REGION FOR
POSSIBLE WW.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 313
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
220 PM EDT THU MAY 28 2009

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF

EASTERN KENTUCKY
FAR WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
EXTREME SOUTHERN OHIO
EASTERN TENNESSEE
WESTERN VIRGINIA
SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA

EFFECTIVE THIS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM 220 PM UNTIL
1000 PM EDT.

HAIL TO 1.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 70
MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS.

THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 85
STATUTE MILES EAST AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 20 MILES EAST OF
CHATTANOOGA TENNESSEE TO 15 MILES NORTH NORTHEAST OF CHARLESTON
WEST VIRGINIA. FOR A COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE
ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).

REMEMBER...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH
AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN AND OCCASIONALLY
DO PRODUCE TORNADOES.

DISCUSSION...DESTABILIZING AIR MASS COMBINED WITH INCREASING LARGE
SCALE LIFT... ASSOCIATED WITH MID LEVEL TROUGH MOVING INTO THE
WESTERN LOWER OH VALLEY...WILL RESULT IN THUNDERSTORMS TO INCREASE
IN NUMBER AND INTENSITY INTO THE EVENING HOURS. MODERATE INSTABILITY
AND INCREASING DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL SUPPORT SEVERE MULTICELL STORMS
WITH HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE.

AVIATION...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL SURFACE AND ALOFT
TO 1.5 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO 60
KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO 500. MEAN STORM

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE UPPER OH VALLEY TO THE UPPER TN
VALLEY

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 313...

VALID 282054Z - 282200Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 313
CONTINUES.

AS OF 2045Z...RADAR/SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATED STRONGER CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY WAS LOCATED ALONG THE NRN AND SRN PERIPHERY OF WW 313 OVER
THE UPPER OH AND LOWER TN VALLEYS. THE NRN ACTIVITY CONSISTED MAINLY
OF SHORT-LINE SEGMENTS WITH MORE CELLULAR ELEMENTS FARTHER S.
HEATING/DESTABILIZATION WANES WITH NRN EXTENT...ALTHOUGH THIS HAS
BEEN COMPENSATED BY MORE ROBUST FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH A MID-LEVEL
IMPULSE EJECTING TOWARDS THE UPPER OH VALLEY. INCREASING
HIGHER-LEVEL WINDS HAVE BEEN NOTED IN TIME-SERIES TRENDS AT
CHARLESTON WV VAD PROFILER...WHICH SHOULD AID IN MAINTAINING OR EVEN
ENHANCING LINEAR ORGANIZATION GIVEN LARGELY UNIDIRECTIONAL PROFILES.
DAMAGING WINDS SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREAT FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS
AS INDIVIDUAL CLUSTERS LIKELY EVOLVE NEWD. OVERALL THREAT DOES NOT
APPEAR SUFFICIENT FOR AN ADDITIONAL WW N OF WW 313...BUT TRENDS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.

FARTHER SW...UPDRAFTS HAVE GENERALLY STRUGGLED TO MAINTAIN SEVERE
INTENSITY DESPITE GREATER INSTABILITY. THE LACK OF STRONGER
LARGE-SCALE ASCENT MAY BE A LIMITING FACTOR. HOWEVER...WITH APPROACH
OF UPSTREAM COLD FRONT /FROM MIDDLE TN TO NWRN AL/...AN INCREASE IN
CONVECTIVE INTENSITY/COVERAGE MAY YET OCCUR.

AREAS AFFECTED...ERN/SRN IL...WRN/SRN IND...SW OH...NRN/ERN KY AND
CENTRAL/SRN WV

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 316...

VALID 302301Z - 310000Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 316
CONTINUES.

A NEW WW MAY BE NEEDED TO THE NORTH OF WW 316 FROM PARTS OF NERN IL
INTO CENTRAL IND. HOWEVER...WEAKER INSTABILITY WITH NWD EXTENT
SUGGESTS OVERALL COVERAGE FOR A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT MAY BE LOW AND
PRECLUDE A WATCH ISSUANCE. IF STORMS SHOW SIGNS OF INCREASING IN
COVERAGE/INTENSITY...THEN A NEW WW WOULD BE NEEDED.

EARLY EVENING SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER
NERN IL WITH A COLD FRONT TRAILING SWWD INTO WEST CENTRAL IL...WHILE
ANOTHER FRONT EXTENDED SEWD THROUGH CENTRAL/SERN IND TO FAR SWRN OH
AND CENTRAL KY.

...IL/IND/SW OH/NORTH CENTRAL KY...
REGIONAL RADARS/LIGHTNING DATA INDICATED AN INCREASE IN TSTM
COVERAGE WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR OVER CENTRAL IL AND ALONG THE
SURFACE FRONT EXTENDING SEWD THROUGH NWRN/CENTRAL IND. ASCENT
ATTENDANT TO A WEAK MID LEVEL IMPULSE TRANSLATING THROUGH THE NW
FLOW REGIME ACROSS THE MIDWEST IS EXPECTED TO SUPPORT ADDITIONAL
TSTM DEVELOPMENT ESEWD THROUGH ERN IL/CENTRAL IND TO SW OH THIS
EVENING. ALTHOUGH STRONGEST INSTABILITY /MLCAPE 1000-2000 J/KG/ AND
DEEP LAYER SHEAR RESIDES WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR...SUFFICIENT SHEAR
/35-45 KT/ NORTH OF THE IND/OH FRONT SUGGESTS A POTENTIAL FOR
ORGANIZED STORMS DESPITE WEAKER INSTABILITY WITH NWD EXTENT. WIND
PROFILER AT WLC SHOWED A STRAIGHT HODOGRAPH SUGGESTING A CONTINUED
LIKELIHOOD FOR SPLITTING STORMS...WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS/HAIL
POSSIBLE WITH STRONGER ACTIVITY.

..SOUTH CENTRAL OH/ERN KY/WV...
ASCENT ATTENDANT TO A WEAK LEAD MID LEVEL IMPULSE/MCV SHOULD SUPPORT
ADDITIONAL TSTMS THAT DEVELOP IN VICINITY OF THE SURFACE FRONT.
MODERATE INSTABILITY AND EFFECTIVE SHEAR 40-50 KT WILL CONTINUE TO
MAINTAIN LIKELIHOOD FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS PRODUCING HAIL AND
STRONG WIND GUSTS. GIVEN CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS ACROSS THE
ERN PART OF WW 316...LOCAL WFO EXTENSION OF THIS WATCH IS POSSIBLE
INTO THE REST OF SRN WV.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 317
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
730 PM EDT SAT MAY 30 2009

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF

CENTRAL INDIANA
SOUTHWEST OHIO

EFFECTIVE THIS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING FROM 730 PM
UNTIL 200 AM EDT.

HAIL TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 70
MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS.

THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 45
STATUTE MILES NORTH AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM 25 MILES WEST OF
LAFAYETTE INDIANA TO 70 MILES EAST SOUTHEAST OF DAYTON OHIO. FOR
A COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE ASSOCIATED WATCH
OUTLINE UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7).

REMEMBER...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH
AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN AND OCCASIONALLY
DO PRODUCE TORNADOES.

OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 316...

DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS INCREASING COINCIDENT WITH WEAK FRONTAL
WAVE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS IL/IND BORDER ATTM. THIS ACTIVITY APPEARS TO
BE FOCUSED ALONG AND NORTH OF RESIDUAL FRONTAL ZONE EXTENDING NWWD
FROM THE OH RIVER TO THE FRONTAL WAVE/LOW. UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR
SHOULD CONTINUE TO FUEL VIGOROUS STORM UPDRAFTS WITHIN STRONGLY
SHEARED REGIME. PRIMARILY UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW HAS ALREADY LED TO
NUMEROUS STORM SPLITS WITH BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT MOVERS FAVORED FOR
PERSISTENCE AND LARGE HAIL PRODUCTION. LARGER/UPSCALE ORGANIZATION
INTO SMALL MCS POSSIBLE GIVEN INFLUENCE OF DEVELOPING FRONTAL WAVE
CIRCULATION. STRONG NW FLOW COULD SUPPORT AN INCREASE IN MORE
WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS IF STORM MERGERS LEAD TO MCS DEVELOPMENT
INTO THE EVENING.

AVIATION...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL SURFACE AND ALOFT
TO 2 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO 60
KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO 450. MEAN STORM
MOTION VECTOR 32030.
