    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.
