DISCUSSION...A band of convection oriented north to south just ahead of an eastward-advancing cold front will continue to shift east through early afternoon. Surface dewpoints in the upper 50s to near 60 F are noted in regional observations. Meager destabilization is occurring across the region, with around 200-300 J/kg MUCAPE evident in objective analysis. While weak instability will limit overall severe threat, strong deep-layer southwesterly flow and effective shear magnitudes greater than 40 kt will support organized line segments. Convection may tend to vary in intensity, with brief periods of strengthening before convection weakens. Given the strong background shear environment, a few strong to severe gusts will be possible. While a severe thunderstorm watch does not appear imminent, trends will be monitored for possible watch issuance over the next couple of hours. ...Leitman/Guyer.. 02/22/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5Mwaq_rFGA9WMjYlTI9k4TWk6OXcTbubddt3BIXqz2x1nV30C_uBaQrvxmR2m4nk7OXJIVr57= -7545YqaYR6272Zqtw$ for graphic product...
