Isolated damaging gusts are possible with the stronger storms/clusters. Widespread storm organization is not expected. DISCUSSION...As of 1715 UTC, regional radar and satellite imagery showed initial diurnal thunderstorm activity was beginning to increase in coverage across portions of the mid MS and lower OH Valleys. Area surface observations show strong heating along a weak front with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s F across a very moist air mass. Modest mid-level lapse rates (6-6.5 C/km) amid the warm and moist air mass will support strong buoyancy (MUCAPE ~3000 J/kg). Continued heating and weak ascent from the front and a subtle trough aloft will allow for scattered to numerous thunderstorms this afternoon.=20 Despite the large buoyancy, deep-layer shear is minimal, with most of the region observing less than 20 kt. This strongly suggests a pulse multi-cellular storm mode. Some clustering/upscale growth is possible with time as individual outflows consolidate. However, this appears limited to areas with locally greater storm coverage, and broader storm organization appears very unlikely. This will favor only sporadic stronger downdraft pulses. Given this and modest lapse rates aloft, isolated damaging gusts are possible. Conditions will continue to be monitored, but the limited storm/severe coverage suggests a WW is unlikely. ...Lyons/Hart.. 07/06/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7zTEaEMzDCj7AncG86RIUPIrclO1PCrkhzgmGChe5sllHb9pwKiaKOE35GW8uNxR760AiiqHV= -WbSgglxR8Cd74J2v0$ for graphic product...
