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.
