    Areas affected...Southeast IN...southwest OH...and adjacent part of north-northeast KY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 202240Z - 210115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe storms will remain possible into
    the early evening across southwest Ohio, and perhaps reaching
    adjacent counties in northeast Kentucky. Locally strong, damaging
    winds will be the primary threat.

    DISCUSSION...Mosaic radar trends showed a small cluster of storms
    extending from southwest OH into far southeast IN, with this
    activity tracking to the southeast within a corridor of moderate
    instability (surface-based CAPE 1500-2000 J/kg) that extended into
    northeast KY. Vertically veering winds with westerly midlevel winds
    of 40-45 kt per ILN VWP is resulting in sufficient shear for storm
    organization within a moist and unstable environment. Although
    midlevel lapse rates are weak, limiting the severe hail threat,
    steep surface to 3 km lapse rates of 8-8.5 C/km suggest locally
    strong, damaging winds will remain possible. This severe-weather
    threat is expected to diminish between 8-10 PM EDT, as the loss of
    daytime heating stabilizes the boundary layer. The short duration
    of this severe threat precludes the need for a severe-thunderstorm
    watch.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0477
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1141 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

    Areas affected...Oklahoma...Far North Texas...Far Northwest
    Arkansas...Far Southeast Kansas...Far Southwest Missouri

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 301641Z - 301845Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe threat is likely to increase across the region
    over the next few hours. A tornado threat, along with wind damage
    and large hail will be possible as cells intensify. A tornado watch
    will likely be needed relatively soon.

    DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a stationary front
    from north-central Oklahoma extending southwestward into northwest
    Texas. Along and south of the boundary, surface dewpoints are in the
    upper 60s and lower 70s F, which is contributing to a moderately
    unstable airmass. The RAP is estimating MLCAPE values across the
    warm sector in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg range. Along the instability
    gradient, a small cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms is
    developing in north-central to northeastern Oklahoma. This activity
    is expected to continue to move northeastward across northeast
    Oklahoma. The Tulsa WSR-88D VWP shows 0-6 km shear of 35 kt with 0-3
    km storm relative helicity near 270 m2/s2. This shear environment
    will support supercell development associated with a tornado threat.
    The tornado threat will be greatest with cells that track
    northeastward along the front. Large hail and wind damage will also
    be possible with this activity.

    Further to the south across southern Oklahoma, convection is
    beginning to initiate in the vicinity of Ardmore. Some uncertainty
    exists concerning how fast this activity will ramp up this
    afternoon. For this reason, a tornado watch will likely be needed
    over the next hour. The current thinking is that cells will
    gradually increase in coverage and intensity with a severe threat
    developing by 18Z in south-central and east-central Oklahoma. The
    deep-layer shear environment will favor supercell development. In
    addition, RAP forecast soundings gradually increase low-level shear
    this afternoon across east-central Oklahoma, which will become more
    favorable for tornadoes. Large hail and wind damage will also be
    possible with supercells that develop.
