   Areas affected...portions of western KY and far southern IN

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 324...

   Valid 270136Z - 270300Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 324 continues.

   SUMMARY...Isolated supercells are in a favorable environment for
   strong to intense tornadoes.

   DISCUSSION...As of 0130 UTC, regional radar analysis showed mature
   supercells ongoing over Caldwell and Davies county KY. These storms
   have exhibited strong low-level rotation and have a history of
   producing tornadoes. The environment ahead of these storms remains
   very favorable for strong to intense tornadoes with large buoyancy,
   ESRH greater than 400 m2/s2 and STP values of 5. Strong to intense
   tornado potential will remain high as these storms approach a
   modified baroclinic boundary left over from previous convection.
   Large to very large hail and damaging winds are also possible with
   these intense storms.
