MD 0069 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 3… FOR SOUTHEAST KY INTO FAR WESTERN VA
Mesoscale Discussion 0069
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0852 AM CST Thu Feb 06 2025
Areas affected...Southeast KY into far western VA
Concerning...Tornado Watch 3...
Valid 061452Z - 061615Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 3 continues.
SUMMARY...Some threat for locally damaging wind and/or a tornado may
continue into late morning.
DISCUSSION...A band of thunderstorms with a history of producing an
apparent tornado and locally damaging gusts is moving across
southeast KY toward western VA this morning. Diminishing instability
with eastward extent and a tendency for a weakening/veering
low-level jet (as the primary midlevel shortwave trough moves away)
should result in a gradual weakening trend with time as storms move
eastward. However, strong low/midlevel flow and favorable deep-layer
shear will continue to support organized convection through late
morning, with an attendant threat of locally damaging gusts and
perhaps a tornado across the remaining portion of WW 3, and also
potentially into adjacent parts of far western VA.
