   Areas affected...Western/central Kentucky and far southern Indiana

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 120...

   Valid 050435Z - 050630Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 120 continues.

   SUMMARY...Damaging wind/tornado potential will continue, at least on
   isolated basis, mainly across western Kentucky into the overnight,
   and possibly east-northeastward into parts of central Kentucky/far
   southern Indiana. Tornado Watch 120 continues until 4am CDT/09z, and
   downstream convective trends will continue to be monitored, although
   the need for an additional Watch is uncertain.

   DISCUSSION...Line Echo Wave Pattern (LEWP) evolution continues to
   occur with multiple bowing segments across western Kentucky into
   southwest Indiana, including one of the bow echoes preferentially
   favoring and riding along prior outflow east of the Paducah area as
   of 1130pm CDT. Near the terminus of the strong regional low-level
   jet, low-level shear is robust within this corridor with 0-1km SRH
   on the order of 250-400 m2/s2. Damaging wind along with some tornado
   potential will continue especially across western Kentucky over the
   next couple of hours. Overall storm intensity should gradually
   diminish overnight as storms progress eastward, but at least a
   lower-end damaging wind/tornado risk could breach the current
   Tornado Watch, and convective trends will continue to be monitored.
