DISCUSSION...An elongated band of pre-frontal convection is progressing steadily east across central KY and middle TN. Strong surface heating ahead of this activity is contributing to steep surface-3km lapse rates with values of 8-9 C/km within a strongly sheared environment. Several organized line segments, with some bowing, are noted within the broader zone of convection. Localized severe winds have been observed with this activity. Forecast soundings exhibit a relatively deep boundary layer with modest sub-cloud RH values, and this should contribute to gusty downdrafts as convection spreads east of current watch. ...Darrow/Thompson.. 04/05/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9_LGVyAgroMK4-Ka0zc3EFVk-ex6Ec2RIoRg-JBMRzJJ8pTYqxixW6GCMej4LWRxzdTujJciv= tB42PieGiw0G40ciHs$ for graphic product...
