Mesoscale Discussion 1401
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0347 PM CDT Wed Jul 06 2022

Areas affected...Parts of northern/eastern Kentucky into western
West Virginia

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 442...443...

Valid 062047Z - 062245Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 442, 443
continues.

SUMMARY...Wind damage potential will continue this afternoon.
Convection in northern West Virginia and parts of eastern Kentucky
have been impacted by convection earlier today. Areas away from
convective outflow will see the greatest risk with perhaps a locally
higher risk with a mesovortex moving into West Virginia.

DISCUSSION...The linear segment of storms that moved through
southwestern Ohio has moved into far southern Ohio to near the West
Virginia border. Regional radar is only sampling winds at several
thousand feet currently, but longer loops suggest at least a weak
mesovortex is present. Tree and power line damage has recently been
report with this feature. Farther southwest, temperatures are much
warmer (mid/upper 90s F) and storms along the surface boundary
continue to propagate into this unstable airmass. Going forward, the
greatest potential for wind damage will exist where the airmass has
been undisturbed by previous convection. This would include parts of
central into east-central Kentucky and southwestern/southern West
Virginia.
