Damaging wind, isolated hail, and a couple tornadoes may occur. Watch issuance is possible. DISCUSSION...An area of precipitation with embedded weak thunderstorms is ongoing early this afternoon from central/eastern KY into northwest TN. Buoyancy along/ahead of the ongoing convection is currently weak. However, modest diurnal heating, continued moistening from the southwest, and eventual cooling aloft associated with an approaching mid/upper-level trough will support MLCAPE of near/above 1000 J/kg by late afternoon, especially from western/middle TN into south-central KY.=20 Deep-layer shear (as sampled from regional VWPs) is already favorable for storm organization, and should generally strengthen with time (with effective shear of near/above 50 kt) through early evening. Some intensification of ongoing storms will be possible later this afternoon, especially along the southwest flank of ongoing activity. Additional storm development may occur into parts of southwest and southern middle TN, in advance of an approaching cold front.=20 Updraft intensification/organization may be gradual due to the modest instability, but eventual development of supercells and/or small bowing segments will be possible. Moderate low-level flow/shear (with 0-1 km SRH generally in the 100-200 m2/s2 range) will support some tornado potential with any sustained supercells, with at least localized instances of damaging wind and hail also possible. Watch issuance is possible later this afternoon. ...Dean/Smith.. 11/07/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!78GNDg96pbw0ujUw-D1O_vhfen921tflLTpsGZWzw1NcrsPDi9LrWCDzOq_-aUFdAvBqB8ACi= vq869bspykdidvkRUY$ for graphic product...
