Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 151959Z - 152200Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...A few storms may develop later this afternoon from far
southeast Missouri into southwest Indiana. Locally damaging gusts
appear to be the main threat.

DISCUSSION...A diffuse warm front continues to gradually mix
northward across central IL into southwest IN, with dewpoints
remaining in the 70s F. Just to the southwest, a low-level lapse
rate plume extends from AR into southeast MO and toward the Lower OH
Valley, with temperatures into the lower 90s F and dewpoints mixing
down well into the 60s F.

Within the warm advection zone, rain and few thunderstorms are now
moving out of IL and toward central IN. This activity has locally
cooled surface temperatures and may provide a relative focus for
later development.

Visible imagery does show substantial boundary layer CU from
southeast MO into southern IL where CIN has been eroded, and a few
cells could eventually develop there. 1000 J/kg MLCAPE, deep-layer
shear approaching 40 kt, and a localized area of sufficient
low-level SRH may yield a small supercell or two capable of strong
gusts and a low-end chance of a brief tornado, assuming such cells
survive into the cooler/greater SRH environment.

Tropical Depression 9 is currently in the Gulf and is expected to become a hurricane by Thursday. It could track over the Wabash Valley on Sunday bringing with it heavy rain. Its unclear if there will be any severe weather at this time, and this is still several days away so changes can be expected to the forecast.
