AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL MO THROUGH SWRN IL

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 190441Z - 190615Z

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
INTO THE EARLY MORNING ACROSS CNTRL MO INTO SWRN IL. ISOLATED LARGE
HAIL WILL BECOME POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. OVERALL THREAT
DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE PARTICULARLY ROBUST...AND NEED FOR A WW IS
UNCLEAR AT THIS TIME...BUT WILL ULTIMATELY DEPEND ON CONVECTIVE
TRENDS.

EARLY THIS MORNING A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS FROM THE OH
VALLEY WWD THROUGH S-CNTRL MO INTO NRN OK. A RESERVOIR OF STRONG
2000-3000 J/KG MUCAPE EXISTS FARTHER SOUTH IN WARM SECTOR WHERE
STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES HAVE OVERSPREAD LOW 60S BOUNDARY LAYER
DEWPOINTS. ADVECTION OF HIGHER THETA-E AIR ALONG A STRONG SLY LLJ
WILL CONTRIBUTE NWD DESTABILIZATION ABOVE THE STABLE SURFACE LAYER
WITH MUCAPE INCREASING TO 1500-2000 J/KG. ELEVATED CONVECTION IS
ALREADY BEGINNING TO DEVELOP IN W-CNTRL MO. AS THE ATMOSPHERE
DESTABILIZES NWD...ACTIVITY COULD INTENSIFY AND POSE A THREAT FOR
ISOLATED LARGE HAIL.
