A severe thunderstorm watch is not expected. DISCUSSION...To the southeast of a shortwave trough across the Upper Great Lakes/MS Valley, a belt of strong mid-level westerlies persists across most of the Lower to Central OH Valley. Despite this favorable upper flow regime, low-level winds remain weak and decidedly westerly, to the south of a pair of occluded surface lows over east-central IN and central OH. Meanwhile, destabilization has struggled with pervasive clouds/cool temperatures north of the occluded front. But an area of greater insolation is spreading east, to the west of the occluded lows over southern IN. Low-topped thunderstorms have developed within this post-frontal regime and should deepen somewhat over the next few hours as they spread east. Additional storms might form farther east ahead of the ill-defined occluded front/surface trough. Convection should struggle to greatly intensify, but given the presence of moderate to strong speed shear, a few more robust updrafts will be capable of producing marginal severe hail/wind threats into early evening. ...Grams/Smith.. 05/09/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_W0w4mHvFUMw5rmrwUftI9YKEEBs1V2cWTsRDoayulxtSAOayV6FLBL_IkJ882Fiu09z1sEKL= xiZxhk-CgtUPqYHI34$ for graphic product...
