.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

SOUTHERLY WINDS BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 35 AND 45
MPH ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING.
WIND GUSTS SHOULD SLACKEN AROUND SUNSET. ALSO...THE COMBINATION OF
STRONG WINDS...LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AND DRY SMALL FUELS
WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
THROUGH SUNSET.

THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TOWARD DAWN...MAINLY IN
SOUTHWESTERN INDIANA. THE MAIN THREATS WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE GUSTY WINDS...CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND SMALL HAIL.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST FOR MONDAY AND MONDAY
EVENING AS A POWERFUL COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE OHIO AND
TENNESSEE VALLEYS. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LOOK LIKELY DURING THIS
TIME WITH DAMAGING WINDS AS THE MAIN THREAT...AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES AND LARGE HAIL AS SECONDARY THREATS. THE MOST LIKELY
TIME FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
SOUTHERN KENTUCKY STANDS THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING SEVERE STORMS.

ADDITIONALLY...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO
BE POSSIBLE AS WIDESPREAD 1 TO 3 INCH RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE
ANTICIPATED. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE IN AREAS THAT SEE
REPEATED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS.

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY AS A FRONT MEANDERS FROM THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
INTO THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY. THE MOST WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY SHOULD BE
OVER SOUTHERN INDIANA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY WIND DAMAGE OR MEASURED WIND
GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON. SPOTTERS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED EARLY MONDAY
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT AS WELL.

[Dave]

Then Wilmington's statements...notice, spotters may be needed in the Indy & Louisville statements but not in Wilmington and the two counties (Jennings (indy)) and (Jefferson (Louisville KY)) butt up against Ripley county...mine. Oh the joys of where I live.

KENTUCKY...CENTRAL OHIO...MIAMI VALLEY OF OHIO...SOUTH CENTRAL
OHIO...SOUTHWEST OHIO AND WEST CENTRAL OHIO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

STRONG WINDS WILL OCCUR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AS

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0300 PM CDT SUN APR 03 2011

VALID 032000Z - 041200Z

...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS EASTERN KS AND NORTHERN
MO...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS/LOWER
MO VALLEY TO LAKE MI VICINITY...

...SE IA/N IL AND MO/E KS THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT...
FEW CHANGES TO PREVIOUS OUTLOOK. INITIAL DEEP CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
IS ANTICIPATED TO OCCUR LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR MORE LIKELY EARLY
THIS EVENING WITHIN A GENERAL SW-NE NEAR-FRONTAL CORRIDOR FROM
AROUND THE KC METRO TO NEAR KIRKSVILLE MO/QUINCY IL...TO EXTREME
SOUTHEAST IA/NORTHWEST IL INCLUDING NEAR/EAST OF THE QUAD CITIES.
LATEST EXPERIMENTAL HRRR GUIDANCE...ALONG WITH AN ASSORTMENT OF 15Z
SREF MEMBERSHIP SUGGESTS THIS COULD OCCUR BY AROUND 23Z-00Z...WITH A
SIMILAR/BUT A FEW HOUR DELAYED SOLUTION AS INDICATED BY THE 12Z
WRF-NMM. INITIALLY...FAST EASTWARD-MOVING SUPERCELLS /40-45 KT/ ARE
PROBABLE...INCLUDING ASSOCIATED POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES...BEFORE A QUASI-LINEAR MODE /INCLUDING BOWS WITH
DAMAGING WINDS/ BECOMES DOMINANT BY LATE EVENING/OVERNIGHT.

OTHERWISE...SEE PRIOR OUTLOOK DISCUSSION BELOW AND ANY SUBSEQUENT
MESOSCALE DISCUSSIONS/WATCHES LATER TODAY.

...OK/NORTH TX TO ARKLATEX THROUGH EARLY MONDAY...
LATEST OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS/GUIDANCE SUGGEST LITTLE CHANGE TO PRIOR
FORECAST REASONING. AS THE DRYLINE CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY MIX
EASTWARD TOWARD/ACROSS CENTRAL OK AND PARTS OF NORTH TX...DEEP
CONVECTIVE INITIATION PRIOR TO EARLY EVENING STILL SEEMS UNLIKELY
OWING TO A STOUT ELEVATED MIXED LAYER AND RELATIVELY WELL-MIXED
BOUNDARY LAYER. THAT SAID...TSTMS WILL BECOME MORE PROBABLE LATE
TONIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT GRADUALLY OVERTAKES THE DRYLINE FROM NORTH
TO SOUTH...WITH SOME OF THE STRONGEST STORMS CAPABLE OF SEVERE
HAIL/WIND.

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY

VALID 032149Z - 032245Z

TSTM INITIATION IS LIKELY BETWEEN 22-23Z AND SUPERCELLS WITH VERY
LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND PERHAPS A TORNADO WILL BE
POSSIBLE. WW IS LIKELY...ROUGHLY 70 PERCENT CHANCE.

CUMULUS FIELD WAS DEEPENING LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS SCNTRL/SERN
IA AND EXTREME NCNTRL MO WITHIN A WEAKENING CAP ALONG NOSE OF STEEP
LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. APPROACH OF LARGE-SCALE HEIGHT FALLS...NOW
OVER ERN NEB...WILL LIKELY BOOST OVERALL ASCENT AND AID IN TSTM
INITIATION ACROSS SCNTRL/SERN IA BY 23Z...SIMILAR TO LATEST RAPID
REFRESH AND RUC SOLUTIONS. ONCE STORMS BECOME ESTABLISHED...
MLCAPES TO 2000 J/KG AND VERTICAL SHEAR OF 40-45 KTS WILL BE
FAVORABLE FOR ROBUST ROTATING UPDRAFTS. VERY STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES WILL YIELD VERY LARGE HAIL...ALTHOUGH A TORNADO/DAMAGING WINDS
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

ACTIVITY MAY BACKBUILD SWWD ALONG THE APPROACH COLD FRONT LATER THIS
EVENING INTO NCNTRL MO...THOUGH COMPARATIVELY STRONGER CAP RENDERS
MORE UNCERTAINTY ACROSS THIS AREA.
