    Areas affected...far southern Indiana into portions of northern
    Kentucky

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 365...370...

    Valid 220421Z - 220615Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 365, 370 continues.

    SUMMARY...A trio of supercell thunderstorms continue to move east
    across the area. The overall environment will support a continued
    severe threat, including tornadoes, in the near term, with a gradual
    decrease in tornado potential as they storms move east into an
    increasingly unfavorable environment.

    DISCUSSION...A trio of supercells continue across the region,
    including one supercell with a confirmed tornado near Boonville, IN,
    around 1044 PM CDT. This tornado occurred with the western most
    supercell in an environment with MLCAPE around 1500 J/kg and 0-3 km
    SRH around 450 m2/s2 (per KVXW VAD).=20

    These supercells will move east through the night on the southern
    periphery of a remnant MCV moving across Indiana into Ohio. As they
    moves east, they should move into an increasingly stable atmosphere
    owing to widespread stratiform rain from earlier convection
    (objectively analyzed MLCAPE falls to less than 250 J/kg across
    eastern portions of northern Kentucky).=20

    Thus, given the ongoing supercells, the tornado threat will continue
    in the near term, especially across portions of southwest Indiana
    along and adjacent portions of northern Kentucky. Isolated large
    hail to around 1" may be possible, along with gusty thunderstorm
    winds. However, as the supercells move farther east and into a more
    stable environment, the overall tornado/severe threat should
    diminish with time.
