Areas affected...Southern into eastern Ohio
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 211824Z - 212030Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...A northeasterly moving cluster of storms may produce
isolated wind damage as low-level lapse rates become more favorable
this afternoon.
DISCUSSION...A weak MCV in northern Kentucky has promoted the
development of a small cluster of storms in southern Ohio. This
activity is expected to move northeast through the afternoon. The
morning observed sounding from Wilmington suggests that MLCIN has
just now eroded as temperatures have risen into the low/mid 80s F.
Continued heating should steepen low-level lapse rates further. The
KILN VAD shows under 20 kts of 0-6 km shear and the mid-level lapse
rates observed on the sounding were also quite modest (~6 C/km).
Without stronger low-level flow or more robust updrafts, the
potential for wind damage with this cluster is likely to remain
spatially and temporally limited.
