1155 AM CDT TUE MAY 24 2011

AREAS AFFECTED...SRN KY...NRN TN

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 352...

VALID 241655Z - 241800Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 352
CONTINUES.

VALID PORTION OF WW 352 IS SCHEDULED TO EXPIRE AT 18Z. WITH SEVERE
THREAT LIKELY PERSISTING...THE PROBABILITY OF A WW REPLACEMENT IS 80
PERCENT.

A RECENT INCREASE IN REGENERATIVE TSTM DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN NOTED
ACROSS PARTS OF S-CNTRL KY INTO FAR NRN MIDDLE TN. LOW-LEVEL WARM
THETA-E ADVECTION ATOP A WEST-EAST ORIENTED CONVECTIVE
OUTFLOW...COUPLED WITH AN MCV OVER WRN KY WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASE
IN TSTM COVERAGE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...SUPPORTED BY LATEST
CONVECTION-ALLOWING MODEL GUIDANCE. AIR MASS ACROSS MIDDLE AND ERN
TN WILL CONTINUE TO HEAT AND BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE WITH MLCAPE
REACHING 1500 TO 2500 J/KG. STRONG AND NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL W/SWLY
LOW/MID-LEVEL PROFILES SAMPLED IN AREA VWP DATA WILL SUPPORT
ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS PRIMARILY PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED
SEVERE HAIL. ALTHOUGH A CLUSTER CONVECTIVE MODE APPEARS MOST
PROBABLE GIVEN THE ORIENTATION OF THE DEEP-LAYER SHEAR VECTOR TO THE
INITIATING BOUNDARY...OCCASIONAL SUPERCELL STRUCTURES MAY DEVELOP
WITH A BRIEF TORNADO BEING POSSIBLE.
