Areas affected…Central/Southern OH into Far Northern KY
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch unlikely
Valid 161740Z – 161945Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…20 percent
SUMMARY…Increasing thunderstorm coverage is expected across
central/southern Ohio and far northern Kentucky this afternoon.
Isolated damaging gusts are possible with a few of these
thunderstorm clusters.
DISCUSSION…Thunderstorm coverage is expected to increase across
central/southern OH and far northern KY over the next few hours as
the well-defined MCV currently over far southeast IN progresses
northeastward into the moist and destabilizing downstream airmass.
Deep-layer flow across the region is modest, resulting in a
predominantly multicellular storm mode. However, some enhanced
low/mid-level southwesterlies will accompany the MCV, which could
contribute to a few loosely organized, northeastward-progressing
clusters capable of isolated damaging gusts. Limited severe coverage
is expected to preclude the need for watch.
