Some adjustments to the severe weather outlook

SPC tornado risk

The new 12:30 update from the SPC  now has the main tornado threat across central and eastern Kentucky later this afternoon and evening.

As of 12:35...no warnings were in effect

SPC damaging wind risk

The storms shown in the previous post over Illinois will strengthen this afternoon with the highest probability for wind damage over southern Indiana and Kentucky.

SPC says.....  THE MOST NOTABLE ONGOING CONVECTION APPEARS TO BE THE CLUSTER NOW DEVELOPING SOUTHEASTWARD OUT OF EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS TOWARD THE EVANSVILLE/LOUISVILLE AREA. THIS ACTIVITY APPEARS TO BE SUPPORTED BY AN AREA OF SUSTAINED MID-LEVEL FORCING FOR UPWARD MOTION...WITH LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH LOWER/MID TROPOSPHERIC WARM ADVECTION CONTRIBUTING TO SOUTHWARD DEVELOPMENT.
