MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1314

AREAS AFFECTED...OH

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 251721Z - 251845Z

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MAY BE REQUIRED FOR CONVECTION THAT
SHOULD DEVELOP WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS ACROSS PARTS OF OH.

ALTHOUGH LOW LEVEL FLOW IS RATHER WEAK...LATEST STREAMLINE ANALYSIS
SUGGESTS A RATHER PRONOUNCED AXIS OF CONFLUENCE ACROSS THE MIDDLE
PART OF OH. LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES HAVE STEEPENED SIGNIFICANTLY
ALONG THIS AXIS WITH SFC-3KM VALUES NOW APPROACHING DRY ADIABATIC.
LATEST VIS IMAGERY SUPPORTS THIS WITH CU FIELD EXPANDING/DEEPENING
WITHIN AN AIRMASS CHARACTERIZED BY MLCAPE VALUES ON THE ORDER OF
1500-2000 J/KG. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG THIS ZONE AS
TEMPERATURES RISE INTO THE LOWER 90S. FORECAST STORM MOTIONS
SUGGEST CONVECTION WILL PROPAGATE SLOWLY SWD ALONG INITIATING ZONE.
