Convective trends will be monitored for the possibility of a watch. DISCUSSION...Warm sector convection has slowly deepened with time with some intensification of cells as they cross over the stationary front in southeastern Kentucky. Updraft intensity so far has been muted by a warm layer around 700 mb, but additional destabilization and subtle height falls into the evening should result in more robust updraft development over the next few hours. Modest low-level shear (per local VWPs) should support some tornado potential, especially along the surface boundary, but damaging winds and hail should be the primary threats with the strongest storms.=20 With storm motion predominantly to the northeast, storms will eventually cross to the cool side of the boundary, resulting in hail being the primary threat and eventual weakening of storms. The coverage and intensity of storms will be monitored regarding the need for a watch. ...Jirak/Thompson.. 04/04/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-5GGB_jrLy_IaYawyNc7Yx2xmONOivLzVIVpQ3PGOOguR-VxXxJxPy0yatGmLszsjTABwrVsR= 5BdBWudJp8kgvm6M6o$ for graphic product...
