Wish I was in Michigan or Iowa today but I'll take my sun and 40s.

WS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1146 AM CST TUE MAR 01 2016


AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN OHIO...EASTERN
KENTUCKY...WESTERN WEST VIRGINIA


CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 011746Z - 012015Z


PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT


SUMMARY...AN ISOLATED DMGG WIND GUST OR TWO...AND PERHAPS A
WEAK/BRIEF TORNADO...MAY ACCOMPANY CONVECTION CROSSING THE MIDDLE
OHIO VALLEY REGION THIS AFTERNOON. WW ISSUANCE WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.


DISCUSSION...FORCING FOR ASCENT WELL IN ADVANCE OF AN
EWD-PROGRESSING SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS SPREADING ACROSS THE MIDDLE OHIO
VALLEY AT PRESENT. A SHIELD OF PRECIPITATION WITH EMBEDDED
CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS...WITH A LEADING LOOSELY ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE
LINE...IS TRACKING ENEWD FROM WRN OHIO TO THE TN VALLEY. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO PROGRESS ENEWD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS
ACROSS THE DISCUSSION AREA.


THE AIR MASS AHEAD OF THE AFOREMENTIONED ACTIVITY WILL ONLY UNDERGO
MODEST DESTABILIZATION...AS POLEWARD FLUXES OF LIMITED MOISTURE
OCCUR WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR OF THE BROADER EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE.
SFC OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST THAT DEWPOINTS ARE QUITE LOW ACROSS THE
AREA FOR MUCH SFC-BASED SVR-TSTM RISK -- GENERALLY IN THE 30S.
HOWEVER...SOMEWHAT RICHER MOISTURE TO THE S WILL DEVELOP NWD INTO
THE AREA TO FOSTER SOME INCREASE -- ALBEIT LIMITED -- IN BUOYANCY.
OTHERWISE...POOR LAPSE RATES WILL GREATLY MITIGATE DIURNAL GAINS IN
BUOYANCY...IN ADDITION TO MITIGATION OF DIABATIC SFC HEATING RELATED
TO AN EXPANDING MID/HIGH-LEVEL CLOUD CANOPY.


REGARDLESS...VWP DATA AT WILMINGTON OHIO AND JACKSON KENTUCKY SAMPLE
APPRECIABLE LOW-LEVEL AND DEEP SHEAR THAT MAY SUPPORT ORGANIZED
CONVECTIVE STRUCTURES. A FEW QUASI-LINEAR SEGMENTS...OR PERHAPS A
MARGINAL SUPERCELL STRUCTURE OR TWO...MAY POSE SOME POTENTIAL FOR AN
ISOLATED DMGG-WIND GUST OR TWO...AND PERHAPS A WEAK/BRIEF TORNADO.
THE DEARTH OF BUOYANCY...AND PAUCITY OF MOISTURE...WILL PRECLUDE A
GREATER SVR RISK FROM EVOLVING.

There's still a chance. Not a big one, but a nonzero one.
