Valid 012035Z - 012230Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 427 continues. SUMMARY...Damaging gusts and large hail threat will continue across portions of southern Illinois into western Kentucky and southwest Indiana the next few hours. An increasing severe risk is expected to develop late this afternoon into this evening downstream from WW 427 and a new watch will likely be needed. DISCUSSION...Intense, severe-warned cells are ongoing across southern IL and parts of western KY. MRMS MESH has indicated hail between 1-2 inch in diameter is possible with these storms as they track generally eastward across a moderate unstable airmass. Effective shear magnitudes around 35-45 kt are noted in objective guidance and regional VWP data. Over the past 30 minutes or so, more discrete cells over southern IL appear to be trying to organize into more of a forward propagating cluster. Damaging wind potential will increase with any upscale development with this activity.=20 Further north and east of WW 427 across east-central IL into parts of central/southern IN and west-central KY, airmass recovery after morning convection appears to be well underway. Low-level inhibition has most eroded as temperatures have warmed into the mid/upper 80s with low/mid 70s dewpoints. The gradient of stronger instability is oriented across this area, and favorable shear is expected to persist as a midlevel shortwave impulse continues to eject across MO and into IL this evening. This should support a continued severe thunderstorm risk into this evening, and a downstream severe thunderstorm watch is likely. ...Leitman/Grams.. 07/01/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5vhH0FzpEC8aukWTw3tD5JwlIEtjOb2_aqnVXXRB3455su3QNRyq_32qCBCh4NKQlTwYhHl2_= 4z4_ypLKCmluiYnA0E$ for graphic product...
