    Areas affected...portions of southern IL into...southwestern
    IN...and far northwest KY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 132334Z - 140100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail and damaging gusts are possible along and
    south of the frontal zone through this evening. Severe coverage is
    expected to remain low and a weather watch is unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...As of 2325 UTC, regional radar analysis showed
    scattered thunderstorms were slowly intensifying along a frontal
    zone across the mid MS and lower OH Valleys. Early day convection
    and lingering cloud cover has resulted in stunted heating through
    much of the afternoon. As a result, buoyancy is not particularly
    large around 500-1000 J/kg despite surface dewpoints in the mid 70s
    F. A few storms have managed to develop and slowly intensify along
    the front over the last hour. Area VADs are supportive of storm
    organization with 40-45 kt of effective shear. Deep-layer shear will
    support transient supercell structures capable of isolated hail and
    a few damaging gusts. The coverage of organized storms appears low
    given the limited buoyancy and WW is unlikely.
