    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 203...

    Valid 012250Z - 020045Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 203
    continues.

    SUMMARY...WW 203 will be allowed to expire at 23 UTC, but a
    localized corridor of wind damage potential may persist downstream
    of a line of thunderstorms for the next 1-2 hours. New watch
    issuance is not anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...Radar imagery from KRLX shows a convective line that
    was once mostly outflow-dominant attempting to established a more
    well-balanced updraft/downdraft convergence zone as new convection
    develops along the leading edge of the cold pool. Although GOES IR
    imagery continues to show warming cloud top temperatures (indicative
    of a weakening trend), lightning trends over the past 20 minutes
    suggest new updrafts are beginning to intensify. The onset of
    nocturnal cooling is gradually diminishing the thermodynamic
    environment downstream of this line, but VWP observations from KRLX
    continues to sample around 20 knots of 0-1 km bulk shear with shear
    vectors oriented largely orthogonal to the cold pool. Consequently,
    some organization/intensification of this line segment appears
    possible as storms move northeast along the OH river. Given the
    thermodynamic trends, additional watch issuance is not anticipated,
    but sporadic damaging winds appear possible for the next couple of
    hours.
