    Areas affected...eastern Kentucky

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 107...

    Valid 031911Z - 032115Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 107 continues.

    SUMMARY...Storms across eastern Kentucky continue to pose a threat
    of damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Sustained low-level warm-air advection continues to
    support thunderstorms across eastern Kentucky. Afternoon insolation
    and a narrow axis of better moisture (upper 60s dewpoints) extending
    into eastern Kentucky have resulted in MLCAPE values approaching
    1000 J/kg. The deep-layer flow and shear (over 50 kts per
    mesoanalysis and local VWPs) are more than sufficient for organized
    storm modes. Currently, the dominant convective mode of north-south
    oriented bands along the differential heating zone seems to favor
    severe-wind potential at this time; however, the strong low-level
    shear would support tornado potential pending a more favorable
    convective mode.
