Update from the Louisville NWS

The Louisville NWS just issued this update at 5:20......

Line of storms is currently crossing from Indiana into Kentucky.  It
appears to be losing its punch, and no severe reports have been
received by the NWS so far.  Nevertheless, it will be capable of 40
to 50 mph winds as it moves into northern Kentucky.  AMDAR soundings
out of SDF have been showing some capping, so that may be helping to
prevent the impressive winds radar is seeing aloft from crashing to
the ground.  DCAPE is not particularly impressive either.

New storms have been firing from eastern Missouri to southwest
Indiana.  Analysis shows that by far the best instability, not
surprisingly, is roughly from St Louis to Evansville where the
atmosphere has yet to be worked over.  The atmosphere over southern
Illinois is indeed extremely unstable and should be able to support
storm development.  Folks west and southwest of Louisville will need
to keep an eye on this activity, while the Blue Grass prepares for
northwest winds of 40 to 50 mph with the approaching line coming out
of Louisville.
