MD 0351 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 75...76... FOR PORTIONS OF FAR SOUTHERN IL INTO WESTERN/NORTHERN KY...SOUTHERN IN...AND SOUTHWESTERN OH
Mesoscale Discussion 0351 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0228 PM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024 Areas affected...Portions of far southern IL into western/northern KY...southern IN...and southwestern OH Concerning...Tornado Watch 75...76... Valid 021928Z - 022100Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 75, 76 continues. SUMMARY...Thunderstorms moving across western Kentucky and southern Indiana should continue to pose some severe risk this afternoon. Downstream watch issuance will eventually be needed. Tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds all appear possible. A strong tornado may also occur with any supercell that can be sustained. DISCUSSION...Convection has generally struggled to intensify this afternoon in far southern IL/western KY along a pre-frontal trough/wind shift line. Still, the airmass downstream is attempting to destabilize in the wake of earlier convection across parts of northern KY and southern IN. Visible satellite imagery shows some clearing across this area, with surface temperatures gradually warming into the 70s in the vicinity of the Ohio River. The low-level airmass is also slowly moistening as the outflow boundary from morning thunderstorms becomes less well defined, with surface dewpoints rising into the mid to upper 60s. Enhanced deep-layer shear of 50-60 kt will support supercells with associated hail threat, if any can develop ahead of the ongoing cluster. Otherwise, favorable low-level shear, with effective SRH around 250-300 m2/s2, will also foster a tornado risk assuming robust thunderstorms can be sustained. A strong tornado appears possible given the strength of the low-level flow/shear shown in recent VWPs from KLVX. Damaging winds remain a possibility with any small clusters. Given current observational trends and gradual destabilization occurring downstream of the ongoing activity, a downstream Tornado Watch into parts of central KY, southern IN, and southwestern OH will likely be needed before the scheduled 20Z expiration of WW 75. ..Gleason.. 04/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0301 PM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024 Valid 022000Z - 031200Z ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA AND SOUTHWESTERN OHIO INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY... ...SUMMARY... A local severe weather outbreak remains possible through this evening primarily across the Mid-Ohio Valley area, with the broader severe weather risk extending east to the upper Ohio Valley, and south to the Gulf Coast. Strong tornadoes remain most likely from southern Indiana to central Ohio and southward into the Mid South. A threat for strong tornadoes may focus this evening into tonight across parts of Alabama and Georgia. ...Discussion... Previous forecast reasoning largely remains on track, though adjustments to the outlook areas -- including trimming the MDT risk on the eastern fringe -- have been implemented. Multiple rounds of prior convection have hindered warm-sector recovery into the moderate-risk area, but clearing evident in visible imagery from western Kentucky to central Ohio has occurred ahead of the front. This corridor remains the focus for significant severe weather, including potential for strong tornadoes. Elsewhere, earlier reasoning remains valid, with a broad area of severe weather potential still evident from the Ohio Valley to the Gulf Coast. ..Goss.. 04/02/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1122 AM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024/ ...OH/TN Valley area through this evening... Complex scenario late this morning with ongoing convection across WV, trailing outflow to the west across KY, and another cluster of storms moving into the trailing outflow zone across TN/KY. The lead storms have produced damaging winds (up to 92 mph measured), though this line of storms should weaken near or just after midday as it encounters the remnant cool air wedge close to the WV/VA border. The storms farther west will move along the remnant outflow zone, where surface temperatures are in the low-mid 70s with dewpoints of 65-70 F. A couple of the storms will likely become persistent supercells capable of producing tornadoes (some of which could be strong/EF2-3) given the already strong wind profiles/long hodographs with effective SRH of 200-300 m2/s2. Uncertainty is relatively high for areas north of the ongoing TN-KY-WV convection. The storms approaching middle TN and southern KY will tend to reinforce the earlier outflow, which will likely interfere with/limit destabilization this afternoon toward parts of OH (especially eastern OH). The corridor of richer low-level moisture from northeast AR into southeast MO (immediately west of the TN storms) suggests that air mass recovery will occur toward southern IL and southern/central IN by late morning into early afternoon, and southwest OH this afternoon. Strong deep-layer shear/long hodographs associated with an amplifying midlevel trough/jet and a deepening surface cyclone will support the potential for fast-moving supercells capable of all severe hazards, including strong tornadoes where sufficient low-level warming/moistening occurs in the wake of the morning convection. As previously mentioned, the northeastern extent of the primary severe threat into OH is more uncertain given the ongoing convection to the south, but will trim the northeast edge of the MDT risk area and expand south some to account for the outflow corridor enhancing the tornado threat on the mesoscale across KY. ...Eastern AL/western GA overnight... In response to the amplifying midlevel trough/deepening cyclone over the MS/OH Valleys, deep-layer flow and low-level moisture advection will increase tonight across AL/GA. A surge of upper 60s boundary-layer dewpoints and strengthening low-level shear both appear supportive of supercells/tornadoes overnight in a broken band ahead of the synoptic cold front. An isolated strong tornado or two will be possible. Read more

Strong deep-layer shear/long hodographs associated with an amplifying midlevel trough/jet and a deepening surface cyclone will support the potential for fast-moving supercells capable of all severe hazards, including strong tornadoes where sufficient low-level warming/moistening occurs in the wake of the morning convection. As previously mentioned, the northeastern extent of the primary severe threat into OH is more uncertain given the ongoing convection to the south, but will trim the northeast edge of the MDT risk area and expand south some to account for the outflow corridor enhancing the tornado threat on the mesoscale across KY. ...Eastern AL/western GA overnight... In response to the amplifying midlevel trough/deepening cyclone over the MS/OH Valleys, deep-layer flow and low-level moisture advection will increase tonight across AL/GA. A surge of upper 60s boundary-layer dewpoints and strengthening low-level shear both appear supportive of supercells/tornadoes overnight in a broken band ahead of the synoptic cold front. An isolated strong tornado or two will be possible. Read more

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0301 PM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024 Valid 022000Z - 031200Z ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA AND SOUTHWESTERN OHIO INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY... ...SUMMARY... A local severe weather outbreak remains possible through this evening primarily across the Mid-Ohio Valley area, with the broader severe weather risk extending east to the upper Ohio Valley, and south to the Gulf Coast. Strong tornadoes remain most likely from southern Indiana to central Ohio and southward into the Mid South. A threat for strong tornadoes may focus this evening into tonight across parts of Alabama and Georgia. ...Discussion... Previous forecast reasoning largely remains on track, though adjustments to the outlook areas -- including trimming the MDT risk on the eastern fringe -- have been implemented. Multiple rounds of prior convection have hindered warm-sector recovery into the moderate-risk area, but clearing evident in visible imagery from western Kentucky to central Ohio has occurred ahead of the front. This corridor remains the focus for significant severe weather, including potential for strong tornadoes. Elsewhere, earlier reasoning remains valid, with a broad area of severe weather potential still evident from the Ohio Valley to the Gulf Coast. ..Goss.. 04/02/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1122 AM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024/ ...OH/TN Valley area through this evening... Complex scenario late this morning with ongoing convection across WV, trailing outflow to the west across KY, and another cluster of storms moving into the trailing outflow zone across TN/KY. The lead storms have produced damaging winds (up to 92 mph measured), though this line of storms should weaken near or just after midday as it encounters the remnant cool air wedge close to the WV/VA border. The storms farther west will move along the remnant outflow zone, where surface temperatures are in the low-mid 70s with dewpoints of 65-70 F. A couple of the storms will likely become persistent supercells capable of producing tornadoes (some of which could be strong/EF2-3) given the already strong wind profiles/long hodographs with effective SRH of 200-300 m2/s2. Uncertainty is relatively high for areas north of the ongoing TN-KY-WV convection.
