Areas affected...western Kentucky...western Tennessee...northeastern Arkansas...southeast Missouri...southern Illinois

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

Valid 182148Z - 182315Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch downstream of WW623 will
likely be needed to cover potential for re-intensification of
thunderstorms and the damaging wind threat.

DISCUSSION...A broken line of thunderstorms continues north and east
within WW623, with some history of damaging wind. The line has
weakened within the last hour. As the trough continues eastward
taking a gradual negative tilt with strong upper-level flow
overspreading the Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley, a notable
southerly low-level jet response is expected as the surface low
deepens near the Great Lakes. This will bring moist air northward
and provide greater shear for organization and possible
re-intensification of thunderstorm activity. An increase in the
threat for damaging winds is expected, and perhaps a line embedded
tornado as low level shear increases. A new Severe Thunderstorm
Watch will be needed to cover this potential.
