Trends are being monitored for a possible watch issuance. DISCUSSION...During the next few hours, an east-northeast/west-southwest-oriented quasi-stationary surface boundary will move slightly southward, while a strengthening low-level jet to the south (over the warm sector) gradually strengthens. This will result in strengthening isentropic ascent and increasing storm coverage in the vicinity of the boundary. While deep-layer flow/shear oriented parallel to the boundary will generally support elevated storms, nearly 60 kt of effective shear will still support organized supercell structures capable of large hail. And, if any of this activity tracks more eastward along/ahead of the boundary, upscale growth and near-surface-based inflow could allow for locally damaging gusts. The overall severe threat is uncertain given the potential for mostly elevated storms, though trends will be monitored for a possible watch issuance. ...Weinman/Thompson.. 03/24/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-zkMXRN9sKMZ-PVcmrjqH0ToBKiqJ3iwxBpOhBurgOEW7rWN9cZ-jbcbcjxd_S4yxIIDVdphJ= RY5BMXvGSIIwNjpasc$ for graphic product...
