Areas affected...southern and eastern Kentucky
Concerning...Tornado Watch 3...
Valid 061312Z - 061445Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 3 continues.
SUMMARY...A threat for a few supercells capable of all severe
weather hazards continues.
DISCUSSION...The line of storms earlier this morning across central
Kentucky has become less defined through time with a few more
dominant supercells in a now broken line from east-central Kentucky
to south-central Kentucky. The strongest of these supercells is
moving through Jackson County as of 13Z with a somewhat tight 40
knot vRot sampled by the KJKL WSR-88D. Instability has already
started to wane across the region which should eventually weaken
these storms. However, in the meantime, a tornado threat may persist
given the presence of a mature, long-lived, rotating updraft amid
strong low-level shear (200 to 250 m2/s2 0-1km SRH). Per
collaboration with WFO JKL, tornado watch 3 has been expanded across
all of eastern Kentucky to cover the threat from these ongoing
storms.
