AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHERN KENTUCKY AND MIDDLE TENNESSEE
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 176...
VALID 290015Z - 290215Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 176
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SOME DAMAGING WIND THREAT MAY PERSIST FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR
SO, BUT THE OVERALL SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE TO WANE ACROSS WW
176.
DISCUSSION...CLOUD-TOP WARMING HAS BEEN OBSERVED IN GOES IR IMAGERY
OVER THE PAST HOUR OR SO ACROSS MIDDLE TN AND SOUTHERN KY AS A
POORLY ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE BAND CONTINUES TO SPREAD EAST/NORTHEAST.
MRMS VIL VALUES HAVE ALSO BEEN DECLINING, WHICH ALSO SUGGESTS A
STEADY WEAKENING TREND IS WELL UNDERWAY. REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY
DEPICTS A PAIR OF MCVS ACROSS THE REGION THAT MAY CONTINUE TO
PROMOTE LOCALIZED ASCENT AS THEY MIGRATE EAST INTO A STRONGLY
SHEARED AIR MASS WITH LINGERING (ALBEIT DIMINISHING) BUOYANCY.
CONSEQUENTLY, SUFFICIENT ASCENT AND SHEAR SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS TO SUPPORT SPORADIC DAMAGING WINDS
WITH THE MORE ROBUST CONVECTIVE CELLS/BANDS. HOWEVER, THIS POTENTIAL
SHOULD CONTINUE TO STEADILY DIMINISH THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AS
NOCTURNAL COOLING AND CONVECTIVE OVERTURNING FURTHER ERODE BUOYANCY.
