Most favorable conditions are still back in southern Indiana. The round impacting SW OH isn't the main threat.

A big question I have is about HRRR's handling of the convection currently impacting Cincinnati metro. i.e., it doesn't have it. Since it's being forced by a warm front passing through and there's more instability south of the front, I don't think it'll negatively impact later. But we'll see.

I knew we'd see some type of watch with a slight neg tilting vort. Quite a few right moving cells, rather small though... as if none can really take an alpha dominance look yet.

No shortage of mesocyclones but they seem to be struggling to strengthen. Seems the skinny instability profile may have verified at least for now. Definitely not the time (yet) to put our guard down given the unseasonably strong deep-layer shear and favorable directional shear.

Slight risk maintained... rightfully so given the way things are going. We're lucky instability is seasonably weak.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK    
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0300 PM CDT WED JUN 08 2022  
  
VALID 082000Z - 091200Z  
  
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF  
THE OHIO VALLEY/MIDWEST...AND FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA VICINITY  
EAST TO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS...  
   
..SUMMARY  
  
SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST ACROSS PARTS OF THE OHIO  
VALLEY/MIDWEST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, AND FROM THE MISSISSIPPI  
DELTA REGION EASTWARD TO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS.  
   
..DISCUSSION  
  
THE ONGOING FORECAST REMAINS LARGELY REFLECTIVE OF THE CURRENT  
SCENARIO, THUS NOT REQUIRING SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES WITH RESPECT TO THE  
ONGOING OUTLOOK AREAS.  GREATEST SEVERE RISK IN THE SHORT TERM  
REMAINS OVER THE MID OHIO VALLEY REGION, WHERE STRONG STORMS --  
INCLUDING A FEW ROTATING CELLS -- CONTINUE TO EVOLVE.    
  
ELSEWHERE, SOME SEVERE RISK WILL CONTINUE FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI  
VALLEY EASTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES, WITH STORMS NEAR  
AND AHEAD OF THE REMNANT MCV NOW CROSSING ARKANSAS.  MEANWHILE, THE  
MRGL RISK OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS VICINITY HAS BEEN REDUCED IN  
SIZE, AS SUBSTANTIAL CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW HAS PROGRESSED SOUTHWESTWARD  
TO FAR WEST TEXAS AND CENTRAL/SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO.

   Mesoscale Discussion 1092
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

   Areas affected...Central/southeast Indiana into southwest Ohio

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 333...

   Valid 082023Z - 082230Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 333 continues.

   SUMMARY...The severe weather threat continues across WW 333. The
   potential for tornadoes continues across the watch area, but may be
   highest across southeast Indiana over the next 1-2 hours.

   DISCUSSION...Numerous supercells are being monitored in regional
   WSR-88D imagery from IN and OH. Most of these cells have displayed
   somewhat paltry updraft intensities with only modest cloud top
   cooling and transient lightning bursts. However, most of these cells
   have displayed storm organization with weak, but persistent,
   mesocyclones. Additionally, a few hail reports have been noted with
   stronger cells, including a couple of 1.75 inch hail report. Storm
   distribution appears sufficiently widespread to continue to favor
   discrete modes across central/southeast IN into southwest OH for the
   next couple of hours. Latest surface observations show the warm
   front has lifted into central IN/OH, and MLCAPE values continue to
   increase across the warm sector to the south of the front (up to
   1000-2000 J/kg per recent mesoanalysis estimates). Regional VWPs and
   ACARS soundings continue to sample veering winds in the lowest few
   kilometers, which is fostering 100-200 m2/s2 ESRH. These trends
   suggest that the overall severe threat will persist across the watch
   area. Portions of southeast IN will likely see the highest tornado
   potential for the next 1-2 hours as relatively stronger low-level
   winds in the vicinity of the surface low boost low-level SRH. Recent
   STP estimates bear out this idea, and several discrete supercells
   within this environment may realize this potential.

NKY supercell is definitely strengthening

Edit: as soon as I posted this, I was about to edit that it might get a tornado warning soon. Alas, tornado warning just got issued.
