    Areas affected...Portions of the Ohio River Valley into southern New
    York

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 231742Z - 231945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe storm risk will gradually increase through the
    afternoon, with damaging winds being the primary concern. A watch
    will likely be issued for parts of the area in the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...Ahead of a northeast/southwest-oriented cold front
    draped across the OH River Valley, a corridor of upper 60s to lower
    70s dewpoints and pockets of heating will contribute to moderate
    surface-based instability -- despite poor midlevel lapse rates
    sampled by 12Z observed soundings. As modest midlevel height falls
    overspread the region, surface-based thunderstorms should gradually
    increase in coverage along/ahead of the cold front.

    Storms should slowly increase in intensity as they track eastward
    and intercept the destabilizing warm/moist sector. Given ample
    deep-layer westerly flow/shear (around 35-kt effective shear)
    roughly perpendicular to the front, a mix of loosely organized
    clusters and transient supercells are expected. Steepening low-level
    lapse rates and the enhanced low/midlevel flow will favor locally
    damaging gusts as the primary concern, especially with any localized
    upscale growth. However, marginally severe hail and a tornado or two
    cannot be ruled out, especially with any sustained semi-discrete
    supercells. A watch (potentially two separate watches) will likely
    be issued for parts of the area in the next few hours.
