Valid 010231Z - 010430Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 98 continues. SUMMARY...A severe threat will continue over the next few hours across eastern Illinois and Indiana southward into western Kentucky. Tornadoes, wind damage and large hail will be possible with the stronger storms. Weather watch issuance could be necessary later this evening to the east of WW 98 in parts of far eastern Indiana and western Ohio. DISCUSSION...The latest WSR-88D radar imagery from Indianapolis shows scattered severe storms in eastern Illinois and western Indiana, including some supercells and short bowing line segments. A second cluster of strong to severe storms is located near the Ohio River in far southwest Indiana. To the west of these storm clusters, an axis of moderate instability is located from far southeast Missouri north-northeastward into eastern Illinois. At mid-levels, a 90 to 110 knot jet is located across southern Missouri. The exit region of the jet is moving across the lower Ohio Valley, which is associated with a broad zone of large-scale ascent and very strong deep-layer shear. In response, intense convective development will continue over the next few hours. Ahead of the mid-level jet, a 65 to 75 knot low-level jet is located from western Kentucky into central Indiana. This feature will create the strong low-level shear favorable for tornadoes, especially with the more dominant supercells. Large hail will also be likely with supercells. The greatest wind-damage potential should be concentrated along the more intense parts of line segments. ...Broyles.. 04/01/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6JNNfkCpcq8EUfJuaU7HXlxS2ma6ves1uyXGjvE2LRKFSJFZ5Zp4jWXufgX8TGwP8MmaSFis4= XghwkCuYNxcBozI7LU$ for graphic product...
