    Areas affected...Southern Indiana into northern Kentucky

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 565...568...

    Valid 112224Z - 120030Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 565, 568
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing along and behind an outflow
    boundary may pose a transient risk for large hail and/or severe
    gusts over the next couple of hours. However, these storms will
    likely remain within an environment unfavorable for substantial
    intensification and a prolonged severe threat.

    DISCUSSION...Latest surface observations and radar/visible imagery
    depict an outflow boundary rapidly expanding westward as the cold
    pool associated with a robust MCS continues to expand. Across
    southwest IN, an organized, but compact MCS, southwest of
    Indianapolis has shown steadily declining velocities behind a bowing
    segment, suggesting that the complex is gradually weakening as it
    migrates further east into the cold pool. Additionally, new
    convection continues to develop along and behind the outflow
    boundary across northern KY. In general, this activity has exhibited
    transient intensification as buoyant parcels originating within the
    warm sector are quickly displaced into the cold pool.

    This trend should generally continue over the next couple of hours
    with most model solutions hinting at additional thunderstorm
    development through roughly 00-02 UTC. Storm motions into the
    cool/stable air mass should continue to limit storm longevity, but
    strong deep-layer wind shear across may support periodic storm
    organization with an attendant threat for large hail (most likely
    around 1 inch) and severe/damaging gusts. Although new watch
    issuance will likely not be needed, local expansions may be required
    as new convection emerges.
