Areas affected...parts of western Kentucky...southern Illinois...far
southwest Indiana...and far southeast Missouri
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20
Valid 050223Z - 050330Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...Damaging winds and embedded tornadoes are possible across
parts of western Kentucky, southern Illinois, far southeast
Missouri, and far southwest Indiana with a line of storms. A watch
will be needed soon.
DISCUSSION...A line of storms with several bowing segments is
ongoing across southeast Missouri and southern Illinois near a warm
front moving slowly northward. Buoyancy has diurnally waned, but
some low-level buoyancy exists per Mesoanalysis. Additionally, a
strong low-level jet exists, providing very strong low-level shear
(54 kts of 0-1 km shear per the PAH VWP). Given the baroclinic zone
in the area, this may provide some vorticity for circulations on the
leading edge of the bowing segments, some tornado threat is
apparent. Additionally, the strong boundary layer flow associated
with the strong low-level jet may lead to a wind threat, as well.
For these reasons, a watch will be needed soon.
