    Areas affected...southern Indiana...northern Kentucky and southwest
    Ohio

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 020955Z - 021130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm potential is expected through late
    morning across parts of northern Kentucky, southern Indiana and
    southwest Ohio. Damaging gusts and a tornado or two will be possible
    with this activity and a watch will likely be needed in the next
    hour.

    DISCUSSION...Upstream convection across southern IL/western KY into
    southwest IN will continue to spread generally east this morning.
    While instability remains modest across the region, strong vertical
    shear is present and favorable for continued organized convection.
    An increase in lightning trends across southern IL and the
    background CAPE/shear environment suggest this activity will
    continue within the vicinity of an effective outflow/stationary
    front draped across southern IL/IN/southwest OH. Damaging gusts will
    be possible with generally linear/bowing storm mode. However,
    enlarged, curved low-level hodographs and 0-1 km SRH greater than
    200 m2/s2 suggest some tornado risk also will accompany this
    activity. A tornado watch downstream from WW 72 will likely be
    needed in the next hour. It should be noted that additional severe
    potential will overspread this same area again later this afternoon.
