MD 0204 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 31… FOR CENTRAL IN
Mesoscale Discussion 0204 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0126 AM CST Sun Mar 06 2022 Areas affected...Central IN Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 31... Valid 060726Z - 060900Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 31 continues. SUMMARY...A fast-moving convective line capable of strong wind gusts continues to move across central IN. DISCUSSION...Convective line extending across west-central IN continues to progress quickly eastward. Recent storm motion was estimated at 55 kt, which takes the line to the edge of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 31 between 0800-0830Z. The airmass downstream of the line is only modestly unstable, but the organized character of the line and the very strong low to mid-level flow (i.e. recent KIND VAD sampled 70 kt at 1 km AGL) suggests the threat for damaging wind gusts will continue. Current KIND radar imagery shows strong inbound velocities entering Montgomery County IN, near a surging portion of the convective line. As a result, a corridor with slightly more potential for severe wind gusts exists from Montgomery County IN northeastward into more of central IN. ..Mosier.. 03/06/2022 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
