    Areas affected...Central KY....Western and Middle TN

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 011629Z - 011730Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Damaging wind gusts and possibly a brief tornado may occur
    with the convective line moving across central KY and western TN.

    DISCUSSION...Convectively augmented outflow boundary continues to
    push southeastward through central KY and western TN. Some deep
    convection exists along this boundary, although the lack of
    lightning suggest the warm temperatures aloft are limiting overall
    updraft depth. Recent radar trends have shown a modest increase in
    low-level reflectivity as well as some increase in forward motion.
    These trends suggest the thermodynamic environment has slightly
    improved, allowing more shear/buoyancy balance along the outflow as
    opposed to undercutting previously observed. Consequently, given the
    strong kinematic fields, this could lead to more convectively
    augmented downdrafts reaching the surface and an increased chance
    for damaging wind gusts. Veering low-level wind profiles suggest
    that a brief tornado could also occur.=20

    The generally modest thermodynamics do cast some doubt towards the
    overall coverage of damaging wind gusts and/or tornadoes over the
    next few hours, introducing uncertainty into the need for watch.
    However, convective trends will be monitored closely and a watch may
    eventually be needed.
