    Areas affected...southeast IN and much of OH into western PA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 291601Z - 291730Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm potential will increase over the next
    1-2 hours across southeast Indiana and across much of Ohio/western Pennsylvania. Damaging gusts will be the primary hazard, along with
    isolated large hail and perhaps a tornado.

    DISCUSSION...A cluster of thunderstorms/weak MCV over central IN has
    slowly intensified over the past 30 minutes of so, and a recent wind
    gust to 65 mph was reported near Martinsville IN. Radar trends have
    show increasing intensity at 5 and 7 km as convection moves into a
    weakly unstable and strongly shear environment.=20

    Downstream across western OH, low to mid 60s F dewpoints and
    temperatures warming into the mid/upper 70s at midday are supporting
    weak destabilization. Additional heating/moistening and steepening
    of low-level lapse rates into the afternoon should support eventual
    increase in strong/severe convection across the MCD area.
    Unidirectional flow, with veering low-level winds, generally will
    favor line segments and severe wind gusts are expected to be the
    primary hazard. Isolated large hail also is possible, especially
    from central Ohio northeast toward western PA where a plume of
    steeper midlevel lapse rates resides. Some speed shear in the lowest
    1-2 km will support small but curved low-level hodographs. While a
    tornado or two is possible, this threat is expected to be limited
    compared to the severe/damaging wind potential.
