Valid 021802Z - 022000Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 209, 213 continues. SUMMARY...Sporadic large hail and damaging winds will persist through late afternoon across a broad swath from the Tennessee to the Ohio Valleys. Damaging wind potential may be greater across the Kentucky portion in the near-term and in middle to eastern Tennessee later. DISCUSSION...A messy overall convective mode has persisted with several convective bands and discrete cells across a broad swath of the Deep to Mid-South. Low-level flow has been weak to modest across much of these regions, with nearly unidirectional moderate mid-level west-southwesterlies. One exception has been with the northern portion of the band in western KY where HPX VWP data sampled a 40-45 kt rear-inflow jet. Southern activity should be dominated by sporadic large hail potential in the near-term, before greater amalgamation into loosely organized clusters occurs. This should support increasing wind potential south of KY by late afternoon. ..Grams.. 05/02/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
