   Areas affected...southern and eastern Kentucky

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 3...

   Valid 061312Z - 061445Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 3 continues.

   SUMMARY...A threat for a few supercells capable of all severe
   weather hazards continues.

   DISCUSSION...The line of storms earlier this morning across central
   Kentucky has become less defined through time with a few more
   dominant supercells in a now broken line from east-central Kentucky
   to south-central Kentucky. The strongest of these supercells is
   moving through Jackson County as of 13Z with a somewhat tight 40
   knot vRot sampled by the KJKL WSR-88D. Instability has already
   started to wane across the region which should eventually weaken
   these storms. However, in the meantime, a tornado threat may persist
   given the presence of a mature, long-lived, rotating updraft amid
   strong low-level shear (200 to 250 m2/s2 0-1km SRH). Per
   collaboration with WFO JKL, tornado watch 3 has been expanded across
   all of eastern Kentucky to cover the threat from these ongoing
   storms.
