VALID 221851Z - 221945Z

AT LEAST A MARGINAL THREAT OF SEVERE HAIL/DAMAGING WIND AND PERHAPS
A TORNADO IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH SEVERE STORM COVERAGE
MAY REMAIN SPORADIC GIVEN AN ILL-DEFINED SYNOPTIC-SCALE FOCUS...A WW
ISSUANCE WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED BY 20Z.

A RECENT FLARE-UP IN TSTM ACTIVITY HAS OCCURRED ALONG AND N OF THE
OH VALLEY. OVERALL ENVIRONMENTAL SETUP DOES APPEAR SLIGHTLY MORE
MARGINAL RELATIVE TO AREAS WITHIN WW 324. NEVERTHELESS...A
MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS CHARACTERIZED BY MLCAPE OF 1000 TO 2000
J/KG AND MODERATE EFFECTIVE SHEAR OF 25 TO 35 KT...WILL SUPPORT
OCCASIONAL UPDRAFT ORGANIZATION. GIVEN BROAD LARGE-SCALE ASCENT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER MS VALLEY SHORT WAVE TROUGH...TSTM
COVERAGE SHOULD CONTINUE TO INCREASE TOWARDS THE UPPER OH VALLEY.
