    Areas affected...portions of central and eastern Kentucky

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 73...

    Valid 021216Z - 021345Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 73 continues.

    SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms will continue east across
    parts of central into eastern Kentucky this morning. Damaging gusts
    and a tornado or two remain possible.

    DISCUSSION...A broken line of thunderstorms across west-central KY
    has become somewhat less organized compared to an hour ago. This is
    likely due to some influence of low-level inhibition. Nevertheless,
    the VWP from KLVX continues to show favorable vertical shear for
    storm organization and low-level rotation. Instability is modest
    across the area, but sufficient to support severe storms given
    strong vertical shear. Fast storm motion will further contribute to
    damaging gust potential. Meanwhile, enlarged and curved low-level
    hodographs with 0-1 km SRH values greater than 175 m2/s2 in the
    presence of a moist boundary layer will support tornado potential.=20

    It should be noted this is the first round of strong to severe
    storms for today. Additional severe storms are expected this
    afternoon.
