ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT CONTINUES TO UNFOLD ACROSS THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON.  CURRENTLY WATCHING A COUPLE OF SUPERCELLS ACROSS
HARRISON COUNTY INDIANA.  THIS WILL AFFECT FLOYD AND CLARK COUNTIES
OF SOUTHERN INDIANA IN THE NEXT HOUR.

ADDITIONAL DISCRETE SUPERCELLS ARE ALSO MOVING NE ACROSS FAR NW
KENTUCKY. THESE STORMS WILL AFFECT HANCOCK KY, PERRY AND CRAWFORD
COUNTIES IN SOUTHERN INDIANA WITHIN THE NEXT 60-90 MINUTES.

FURTHER WEST...CELLS ALONG COLD FRONT CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE WELL.
THIS LINE IS ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY FROM THE WABASH RIVER AND WILL

-JARVIS

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT)...

...ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER EVENT EXPECTED TONIGHT...

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS A TORNADO WATCH WHICH WAS ISSUED AT 1840Z
AND RUNS TILL 4Z TONIGHT FOR WRN TWO THIRDS OF CWA.  ATMOSPHERE IS
ON THE RECOVERY FROM THIS MORNINGS CONVECTION. BETTER INSTABILITY
IS STARTING TO NOSE IN FROM THE WSW AS CLOUDS BREAK UP ALLOWING SFC
HEATING. CAPES APPROACHING 1000 J/KG OVER FAR WRN CWA.  THINKING
SCATTERED T-STORMS MAY DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT EARLY THIS EVENING
OVER WRN CWA WHICH IS IN THE WATCH AREA.  EXPECTING CONVECTION TO
REMAIN WEST AND SOUTH ALONG THE BEST INSTABILITY AXIS UNTIL THEN.

MAIN EVENT STILL ON TRACK FOR TONIGHT.  ONLY MINOR TWEAKS TO THE
GRIDS FOR TONIGHT.  LAPS 50 TO 60 KT BULK SHEAR WILL MAKE QUITE A
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR DAMAGING WINDS AS WAS OBSERVED WITH
CONVECTION OVER IL AND MO YESTERDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. GOOD LL SHEAR
ESPECIALLY OVER WEST CENTRAL KY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA WILL CONTINUE
TO SUPPORT AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT.  THINKING IS THAT CELLS WILL
PROBABLY INITIATE OVER WRN KY AND IN/IL EARLY THIS EVENING AND
EVOLVE INTO A SQUALL LINE ESPECIALLY BY THE TIME THE COLD FRONT
REACHES CENTRAL AND ERN PORTIONS OF CWA AROUND 5Z TO 9Z.

BE SURE TO TURN ON YOUR WEATHER RADIOS THIS EVENING TO REMAIN ALERT
OF SEVERE WEATHER UPDATES.

.LONG TERM (FRI THRU THU)...

SEVERE EVENT LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT...AND HENCEFORTH WILL BE MAKING
NO OR JUST SUBTLE CHANGES IN THIS PERIOD. STILL LOOKS LIKE A WARM
WEEKEND...TRENDING SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER AT THE START OF THE NEW
WORKWEEK WITH NEXT SIGNIFICANT CHANCE OF RAIN ON MONDAY.
