   Areas affected...Far southeastern Illinois into southern Indiana

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 43...44...47...

   Valid 150158Z - 150300Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 43, 44, 47 continues.

   SUMMARY...Damaging winds will be the primary threat with an
   organized line of storms moving into southern Indiana. A
   line-embedded supercell will be capable of producing a tornado.

   DISCUSSION...An organized line of convection with an embedded
   supercell continues east into southern Indiana. This embedded
   supercell has shown relatively strong low-level rotation and will be
   the primary focus for tornado potential during the next hour.
   Damaging winds will also be possible, particularly with the more
   north-south oriented line. The KVWX VAD showed around 70 kts at
   1-1.5 km AGL as the line passed. The eastward extent of the severe
   threat is somewhat uncertain given the increasing CINH and
   decreasing buoyancy. However, some destabilization is expected ahead
   of this line and, with it being organized, it is probable it
   persists for a few more hours.
