WW 78 TORNADO IN KY OH 021945Z - 030200Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 78 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 345 PM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Southeast Indiana Central Kentucky Southwest Ohio * Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 345 PM until 1000 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Supercells are expected to form and intensify through the afternoon from Kentucky into southeast Indiana and eventually southwest Ohio. The storm environment favors the potential for a couple of strong tornadoes (EF2+), large hail of 1-2 inches in diameter, and occasional damaging gusts of 60-75 mph. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles east and west of a line from 50 miles north of Cincinnati OH to 25 miles south southwest of Bowling Green KY. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 75...WW 76...WW 77... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 24050. ...Thompson Read more

SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0816 PM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024 Valid 030100Z - 031200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A SMALL PART OF FAR EASTERN OH...AND ACROSS PORTIONS OF TN VALLEY AND SOUTHEAST STATES... ...SUMMARY... Damaging wind gusts and tornadoes remain possible from the Ohio Valley to the Southeast tonight, particularly over a small part of far eastern Ohio and across portions of Tennessee Valley and Southeast States. ...01Z Update... Multiple bands of strong to severe thunderstorms continue ahead of an expansive cold front stretching from the IN/OH border southwestward through central KY, western TN, northwest MS, and central LA. Strong wind profiles will continue to support storm organization and the potential for damaging wind gusts and/or tornadoes with any discrete storms or embedded within any of the numerous line segments along and/or ahead of the front. ...Middle/Upper OH Valley... The airmass has begun to cool and stabilize ahead of the cold front moving across the region, as evidenced by the 00Z ILN and PIT soundings. Even so, strong ascent is spreading across the region and thunderstorms are expected to persist along and ahead of the front this evening. Many of the storms in this region have trended towards a more cell-in-line/embedded supercell structure as the front approaches. This trend will likely continue throughout the evening and tonight. Wind fields remain very strong, as evidenced by the recent RLX VAD profile which sampled 0-1 km bulk shear of 50 kt and 0-6 km bulk shear over 70 kt. These kinematics will likely still support a threat for damaging gusts and embedded tornadoes throughout the evening and tonight. ...TN Valley into the Southeast... Thermodynamic conditions in this region are a bit more favorable than those farther north, supported by mid 60s dewpoints reaching into southern middle TN. Even so, poor lapse rates still limit the overall buoyancy, with recent mesoanalysis estimating MLCAPE below 1500 J/kg across the region. General expectation is for storm coverage to increase this evening, particularly across AL and GA. Wind profiles remain supportive of organized storms, with damaging gusts and tornadoes possible throughout the evening and tonight. ..Mosier.. 04/03/2024 Read more

Damaging wind gusts and tornadoes remain possible from the Ohio Valley to the Southeast tonight, particularly over a small part of far eastern Ohio and across portions of Tennessee Valley and Southeast States. ...01Z Update... Multiple bands of strong to severe thunderstorms continue ahead of an expansive cold front stretching from the IN/OH border southwestward through central KY, western TN, northwest MS, and central LA. Strong wind profiles will continue to support storm organization and the potential for damaging wind gusts and/or tornadoes with any discrete storms or embedded within any of the numerous line segments along and/or ahead of the front. ...Middle/Upper OH Valley... The airmass has begun to cool and stabilize ahead of the cold front moving across the region, as evidenced by the 00Z ILN and PIT soundings. Even so, strong ascent is spreading across the region and thunderstorms are expected to persist along and ahead of the front this evening. Many of the storms in this region have trended towards a more cell-in-line/embedded supercell structure as the front approaches. This trend will likely continue throughout the evening and tonight. Wind fields remain very strong, as evidenced by the recent RLX VAD profile which sampled 0-1 km bulk shear of 50 kt and 0-6 km bulk shear over 70 kt. These kinematics will likely still support a threat for damaging gusts and embedded tornadoes throughout the evening and tonight. ...TN Valley into the Southeast... Thermodynamic conditions in this region are a bit more favorable than those farther north, supported by mid 60s dewpoints reaching into southern middle TN. Even so, poor lapse rates still limit the overall buoyancy, with recent mesoanalysis estimating MLCAPE below 1500 J/kg across the region. General expectation is for storm coverage to increase this evening, particularly across AL and GA. Wind profiles remain supportive of organized storms, with damaging gusts and tornadoes possible throughout the evening and tonight. ..Mosier.. 04/03/2024 Read more
