An organized MCS with severe winds is approaching from the west. DISCUSSION...An organized bowing MCS is tracking eastward across the lower OH River Valley at around 50 kt this afternoon -- with a recent measured gust of 66 mph in far southeastern MO. The MCS is moving into an increasingly unstable pre-convective environment with around 40 kt of west-northwesterly deep-layer shear oriented perpendicular to the leading-edge gust front. This should support its maintenance downstream into southwestern KY and Middle TN this afternoon -- with a corresponding risk of severe winds up to 75 mph. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will likely be issued for parts of the area in the next hour. ...Weinman/Bunting.. 07/18/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7sCv-UCjWFsdnXQUIZJNR_63JZYGNIvSFCgggDnkkGqUEbx8DhVxnqAiwxI4JouXJNEeRc0hP= Xunv9nbmi0SYtYzZUg$ for graphic product...
