   Concerning...Tornado Watch 178...

   Valid 272344Z - 280115Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 178 continues.

   SUMMARY...Supercell tornado threat is expected to increase over the
   next hour.

   DISCUSSION...Recent radar data from LNX has shown splitting
   supercell structures and related mergers over portions of western
   NE, with a recent intensification of a right-moving supercell. As
   this storm and other nearby developing storms continue
   east-northeastward, a moist boundary layer (dewpoints in the lower
   60s) and increasing clockwise-curved hodographs (effective SRH
   increasing to around 400 m2/s2) will favor an increasing supercell
   tornado risk. Given, the ample streamwise vorticity and rich
   low-level moisture, a strong tornado cannot be ruled out.
