AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF FAR SOUTHERN KENTUCKY INTO WESTERN AND
MIDDLE TENNESSEE
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 516...517...
VALID 270151Z - 270245Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 516, 517
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...DAMAGING GUSTS REMAIN A CONCERN FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS, A
COUPLE OF WHICH MAY REACH 55-70 MPH.
DISCUSSION...A COLD-POOL-DRIVEN MCS CONTINUES TO PROPAGATE SOUTHWARD
ACROSS SOUTHERN KY AND IS APPROACHING WESTERN AND MIDDLE TN. THIS
MCS HAS A HISTORY OF DAMAGING GUSTS, AND CONTINUES TO TRAVERSE A
CORRIDOR OF 4000-5000 J/KG MLCAPE AND 30-40 KTS OF EFFECTIVE BULK
SHEAR. WHILE THIS MCS IS BEGINNING TO OUTPACE THE MORE FAVORABLE
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, THE RICH MOISTURE IN PLACE (E.G. THE 75-80 F
DEWPOINTS CONTRIBUTING TO THE EXTREME BUOYANCY) WILL COMPENSATE FOR
A CONTINUED DAMAGING GUST THREAT FOR AT LEAST A FEW MORE HOURS.
SINCE THE MCS CONTINUES TO TRACK SOUTHWARD AT APPROXIMATELY 30-35
KTS, IT IS POISED TO CROSS WESTERN AND MIDDLE TN IN THE 9-11 PM CDT
PERIOD.
