Valid 070721Z - 070915Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 194 continues. SUMMARY...Further thunderstorm intensification and upscale growth, accompanied by increasing risk for strong to severe surface gusts, remains possible during the next few hours. An additional severe weather watch may be needed within an hour or so. DISCUSSION...Given the easterly forward propagation of the small lead convective system, and south to southwesterly ambient flow beneath a 30-40 kt southwesterly 850 mb jet, southerly system relative inflow currently appears strongest near the Illinois/Indiana state border area. Although this inflow remains generally drier/more stable to the east of the state border, the Rapid Refresh suggests that low-level moisture advection may continue to gradually destabilize the inflow across the state border area, ahead of the southwestern flank of the convective system, during the next few hours.=20=20 As a result, stronger thunderstorm development probably will tend to redevelop east-southeastward, and generally remain southwest of the Indianapolis area. However, there does appear at least some potential for substantive further intensification, accompanied by strengthening northwesterly rear inflow and downdrafts, and eventually a risk for strong surface gusts. ...Kerr.. 05/07/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!50kcixwaK0HiWUCLtVnm32McFxdiuE_yq2cF5nKI7zjX-dawMk4kdN3Fo1SU3aABJtwDFdlor= 6PIhiGujL0vJHto90c$ for graphic product...
