NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF SOUTHEAST IN...NORTHERN
KY...WESTERN/CENTRAL OH
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 071352Z - 071515Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...SOME INCREASE IN THE SEVERE THREAT IS POSSIBLE WITH TIME
THIS MORNING.
DISCUSSION...A LOOSELY ORGANIZED QLCS IS CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS
EASTERN IN, DOWNSTREAM OF A MID/UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING
ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. DESPITE STRONG LOW-LEVEL FLOW, THIS QLCS
HAS GENERALLY REMAINED SUBSEVERE THUS FAR THIS MORNING, DUE TO WEAK
BUOYANCY AND ONLY MODEST LARGE-SCALE ASCENT. HOWEVER, RELATIVELY
STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES WERE NOTED ON THE 12Z ILN SOUNDING, AND
SOME INCREASE IN BUOYANCY IS EXPECTED WITH TIME AS CONTINUED HEATING
AND MOISTENING OCCURS WITHIN THE ALREADY WARM BOUNDARY LAYER.
WITH RELATIVELY GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM ENVIRONMENT
EXPECTED IN THE SHORT TERM, POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY DAMAGING WIND AND
PERHAPS A BRIEF TORNADO MAY REMAIN RATHER ISOLATED THROUGH MID
MORNING, RENDERING THE NEED FOR SHORT-TERM WATCH ISSUANCE UNCERTAIN.
A MORE SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN THE SEVERE THREAT REMAINS POSSIBLE
FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON, AS ONGOING CONVECTION MOVES
INTO AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE GREATER PRE-STORM HEATING AND
DESTABILIZATION IS EXPECTED.
