Not understanding this logic of not issuing/upgrading to a tornado watch across the OV right now at all.

Here we go....

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A

* TORNADO WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF

FAR SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS

FAR SOUTHWEST INDIANA

WESTERN AND SOUTH-CENTRAL KENTUCKY

NORTHWESTERN TENNESSEE

* EFFECTIVE THIS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM 505 PM UNTIL

1100 PM CDT.

* PRIMARY THREATS INCLUDE...

A FEW TORNADOES POSSIBLE

SCATTERED LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED VERY LARGE HAIL EVENTS TO 2

INCHES IN DIAMETER POSSIBLE

ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH POSSIBLE

SUMMARY...WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...INCLUDING A FEW

SUPERCELLS WITH A RISK FOR TORNADOES...LOCALLY DAMAGING WIND AND

HAIL...EXPECTED TO PERSIST OVER WATCH AREA THROUGH

MID-EVENING...WITH EASTWARD MOVEMENT / DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED OVER

TIME.

Some places in Kentucky now have two watches in effect at the same time. Dont see that every day.

Don't they sort of cancel the severe watch and make the tornado watch effective for all purposes?

 

Twister was released in theaters 20 years ago today. Why not have a surprise twister outbreak today?

The only thing really preventing this from totally getting out of hand is that the 0-1 km SRH is a bit marginal. All of these storms are strongly rotating aloft and it wouldn't take much via the EVX and PAH VAD profiles to increase the tornado threat markedly, perhaps just some subtle localized backing of the surface winds.
