   Areas affected...the Lower OH Valley

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 181844Z - 182015Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...An additional watch issuance is expected to the south of
   WWs 432/434 across the Lower Ohio Valley through western Kentucky.
   Scattered damaging winds, a tornado or two, and isolated severe hail
   are the likely hazards.

   DISCUSSION...Deepening convection has been building across southeast
   IL ahead of a weak cold front in southeast MO. VWP data from PAH has
   begun to become veered in the low-levels, but adequate 0-1 km SRH
   exists for low-level rotation amid a very moist and unstable air
   mass. Convection should continue to increase in a
   southwest/northeast orientation across the Lower OH Valley through
   the rest of the afternoon. This should result in more parallel
   alignment to the deep-layer shear vector. Sporadic damaging winds
   will probably be the overarching threat, but a tornado or two will
   be possible, especially with northward extent in southern IN.
