Severe threat March 28th

A complex situation here. A strong low pressure system will move along the Ohio River across parts of West KY. With incredible shear present in this situation. If higher CAPES can reach into the Triple Point than tornadoes are possible esp in the Hopkinsville/Elkton/Cadiz/Greenville. The Main Threat is Large Hail and Damaging Winds.

Advantages
- Great Shear
- Triple point is near or in West KY

Disadvantages
- Timing could come in the morning hours
- Cloud cover and rain could hamper instability
- Moisture may not recover and inflow may be blocked from storms in the Deep South.

All and all this could be an dangerous event even for West KY if things do like they could go.
