Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 211950Z - 212215Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...An isolated wind damage threat with strong storms may
persist through the afternoon. Watch issuance is unlikely.

DISCUSSION...Low-topped convection with occasional embedded
lightning continues to gradually increase in coverage along/ahead of
a cold front from central/eastern KY across the TN Valley. Broken
cloud cover and poor mid-level lapse rates are limiting instability,
with around 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE present per latest mesoanalysis
estimates. Area VWPs show low-level winds veered to a generally west-southwesterly component, which is limiting convergence along
the front. Even so, these winds do quickly strengthen with height in
the 0-3 km layer owing to the presence of a mid/upper-level trough
over the OH Valley. About 30-40 kt of effective bulk shear should
support some updraft organization, with both cells and small
clusters possible. As filtered diurnal heating continues through the
remainder of the afternoon, modest steepening of low-level lapse
rates may support efficient momentum transfer within convective
downdrafts. Isolated strong to damaging winds of 40-60 mph should be
the main threat with the developing convection for at least the next
few hours. Regardless, the overall severe risk should be tempered by
the marginal thermodynamic environment, and watch issuance appears
unlikely at this time.
