Tuesday Partly cloudy. Lows in the mid 30s and highs near 60. The watch includes areas generally along and south of a line from Perryville Missouri to Owensboro Kentucky. A strong cold front and associated upper level disturbance will plow across the region today. Ahead of the front the airmass is extremely unstable and wind shear in the lower levels is favorable for the formation of tornadic thunderstorms.
Conditions are also favorable for intense microbursts and large hail.
Persons in the watch area should be alert for rapidly changing weather conditions and develop a safety plan if severe weather threatens. The threat will diminish from west to east with the passage of the front.
