LINE OF SEVERE STORMS CONTINUES TO EVOLVE OVER WEST PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST REGION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND SCATTERED CELLS ARE ALSO
GROWING OUT AHEAD OF THIS LINE IN SOUTHERN EXTREME WESTERN KY AND SW
INDIANA. PLEASE REFER TO SPC DICUSSIONS FOR THE LATEST INFO ON THIS

FORECAST REGION...ESPECIALLY OVER WRN KY AND SW INDIANA. WILL
INCLUDE EXPLICIT MENTION OF SEVERE STORMS AND WILL CONSIDER MENTION
OF TORNADOES POSSIBLE. STORM THREAT SHOULD BE OVER SOUTHEAST ZONES
SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET.

LOOKS MOSTLY DRY NEXT FEW DAYS...BUT WITH MAIN H50 TROF HANGING BACK
WEST OF THE REGION TIL LATER TUESDAY...NOT TOO OPTIMISTIC ON THE
AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE...ESPECIALLY TUESDAY. NEXT SHORT WAVE AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT STILL ON TRACK FOR LATER IN THE WORK WEEK.
CURRENT TIMING TIMING OF THURSDAY NIGHT INGOT FRI IS SUPPORTED BY
LATEST GFM RUN. WILL CONTINUE CHANCE OF SHOWERS DUE TO EXPECTED
UPPER DYNAMICS...BUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN LOOKS TO MODEST AT
BEST.

WILL NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE MAV MOS TEMPS NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

.PAH...NONE.
