   0557 PM CDT Wed May 22 2024

   Areas affected...South-central Kentucky and northern middle
   Tennessee

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 222257Z - 230030Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

   SUMMARY...Damaging wind gusts and marginally severe hail may
   accompany a  bowing line segment across north-central middle TN and
   south-central KY over the next 1-2 hours.

   DISCUSSION...Recent radar imagery shows a bowing segment with a
   descending RIJ progressing eastward across Overton County in TN.
   Confidence in this feature maintaining its intensity over the next
   few hours is low to moderate considering a weakly forced
   environment, increasing CINH through evening, and downstream
   low-level flow parallel to the convergence zone. Regardless,
   extrapolation of this features may require a short-fused downstream
   watch for damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph.
