Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted April 2 Administrators Share Posted April 2 MD 0341 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 73... FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN KENTUCKY Mesoscale Discussion 0341 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0716 AM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024 Areas affected...portions of central and eastern Kentucky Concerning...Tornado Watch 73... Valid 021216Z - 021345Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 73 continues. SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms will continue east across parts of central into eastern Kentucky this morning. Damaging gusts and a tornado or two remain possible. DISCUSSION...A broken line of thunderstorms across west-central KY has become somewhat less organized compared to an hour ago. This is likely due to some influence of low-level inhibition. Nevertheless, the VWP from KLVX continues to show favorable vertical shear for storm organization and low-level rotation. Instability is modest across the area, but sufficient to support severe storms given strong vertical shear. Fast storm motion will further contribute to damaging gust potential. Meanwhile, enlarged and curved low-level hodographs with 0-1 km SRH values greater than 175 m2/s2 in the presence of a moist boundary layer will support tornado potential. It should be noted this is the first round of strong to severe storms for today. Additional severe storms are expected this afternoon. ..Leitman.. 04/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...JKL...ILN...LMK...PAH...
