    Areas affected...Central/Upper OH Valley

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 092006Z - 092130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail of 0.75 to 1.25 inches and locally damaging
    wind gusts from 45 to 60 mph will be possible with lower-topped
    scattered thunderstorms. A severe thunderstorm watch is not
    expected.

    DISCUSSION...To the southeast of a shortwave trough across the Upper
    Great Lakes/MS Valley, a belt of strong mid-level westerlies
    persists across most of the Lower to Central OH Valley. Despite this
    favorable upper flow regime, low-level winds remain weak and
    decidedly westerly, to the south of a pair of occluded surface lows
    over east-central IN and central OH. Meanwhile, destabilization has
    struggled with pervasive clouds/cool temperatures north of the
    occluded front. But an area of greater insolation is spreading east,
    to the west of the occluded lows over southern IN. Low-topped
    thunderstorms have developed within this post-frontal regime and
    should deepen somewhat over the next few hours as they spread east.
    Additional storms might form farther east ahead of the ill-defined
    occluded front/surface trough. Convection should struggle to greatly
    intensify, but given the presence of moderate to strong speed shear,
    a few more robust updrafts will be capable of producing marginal
    severe hail/wind threats into early evening.
