MD 2159 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND FAR NORTHERN KENTUCKY.
Mesoscale Discussion 2159
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0742 AM CDT Sun Oct 19 2025
Areas affected...Southwest Indiana and far northern Kentucky.
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 191242Z - 191415Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated damaging wind gusts are possible this morning
across southwest Indiana and far northern Kentucky.
DISCUSSION...A focused area of ascent in the left-exit region of the
upper jet and on the leading edge of the mid-level vorticity maximum
has resulted in some stronger/fast-moving convection across southern
Illinois this morning. A few estimated 60 mph wind gusts and a
measured 62 mph wind gust have been associated with this cluster of
storms thus far. While downstream instability remains weak (100-200
J/kg MUCAPE per SPC mesoanalysis), the strong forcing should
continue to support an isolated damaging wind threat as this cluster
of storms moves across southern Indiana and far northern Kentucky
this morning. A severe thunderstorm watch is not expected.
