SHOWERS/STORMS RESIDES (SYNOPTIC TEMPERATURE FRONT IS EVEN FURTHER
WEST). THIS IS PRODUCING WIND GUSTS OF 40-45 MPH AND VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL (FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR DUBOIS/ORANGE CONTINUES UNTIL
930 PM EST). THIS LINE HAS NOT INCREASED IN STRENGTH TOO MUCH OVER
THE LAST HOUR...BUT WITH LOW- LEVEL JET OF 60+ KNOTS FROM
SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH...COULD SEE INTENSIFICATION IN THE FORM
OF BOWING SEGMENTS. WILL SEE IF SPC ISSUES A SECOND WATCH IN PLACE
OF AND FURTHER EAST OF CURRENT WATCH. MAIN THING WORKING AGAINST
THIS LINE IS THE LACK OF INSTABILITY...THOUGH SFC LIS FROM ZERO
TO -1 ARE PRESENT AHEAD OF THIS LINE VIA LAPS/MSAS ANALYSES.
FURTHER EAST AND SOUTH...CONVECTION MOVING NEWD FROM TENNESSEE
INTO S-CNTRL AND CENTRAL KY SEEMS TO BE WEAKENING. SO OTHER THAN A

TO SEE IF ANOTHER WATCH WILL COME OUT FOR SRN IN AND NRN KY. WILL
ALSO CONTINUE WIND ADVISORY THROUGH 7AM EST FOR THE ENTIRE CWA AS
UPSTREAM GRADIENT WINDS ARE RANGING FROM 35-45 KTS (NOT ASSOCIATED

EAST OUT OF MISSOURI WILL TRIGGER STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. THE MAIN THREAT EARLY THIS EVENING WILL BE
OVER THE WEST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE STORMS WILL MOVE INTO
AREAS EAST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA LATER IN THE EVENING. THE
INSTABILITY WITH THIS SYSTEM IS WEAK BUT THE SHEAR IS STRONG ENOUGH
TO TRIGGER AT LEAST SOME SEVERE STORMS.
THE MAIN AREA OF SHOWERS WILL END SHORTLY AFTER THE FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY BEHIND THE FRONT WITH GUSTS
DIMINISHING AROUND DAYBREAK AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE OFF TO THE
