THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRIMARILY CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL WILL
CONTINUE FOR PORTIONS OF ERN KY...NERN TN...FAR WRN VA...AND NWRN
NC. THE THREAT WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS.

A WEAK UPPER WAVE OBSERVED ON WV IMAGERY OVER ERN KY/TN HAS
INFLUENCED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG AN AREA OF SURFACE
CONFLUENCE...NOW TRANSLATING ESEWD TO THE SPINE OF THE APPALACHIANS
IN ADVANCE OF THE UPPER WAVE. A SEPARATE AREA OF SURFACE CONFLUENCE
HAS BEEN NOTED FROM SWRN WV WWD INTO CNTRL KY...WHERE AGITATED CU
HAS BEEN OBSERVED ON VISIBLE IMAGERY. HOWEVER...UPPER RIDGING AND
SUBSIDENCE SEEMS TO BE LIMITING STRONGER CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.
STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES NEAR 7 C/KM AND AMPLE EFFECTIVE SHEAR
NEAR 50 TO 60 KTS HAS SUPPORTED LARGE HAIL DEVELOPMENT...AND SHOULD
CONTINUE OVER THE WW AREA.
