A watch will be needed within the next hour. DISCUSSION...A surface cold front located across central Kansas will phase with the dry line this evening as a focus for new storm development as the upper level wave advances into the Northern and Central Plains. Expected broken multi-cellular lines eventually transitioning to become more a more organized line as the front advances eastward with time and forcing for ascent increases. The 20z sounding from TOP shows SBCAPE around 3000 J/kg. Deep layer shear at 0-6 km is around 70 kts. Soundings profiles are characterized by an inverted V, with low-level moisture is lacking with dew points around 60 F with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. Given this environment, the main threats will likely be large hail and damaging wind. Steep low level lapse rates and 0-1 km SRH around 200-300 m2/s2 would support some risk of a tornado or two. A watch will be needed within the next hour. ...Thornton/Thompson.. 04/04/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-QhktxrOwD4_xJ3Tokf2Nsn2MOLKD9FGjrJizlyO7Ntao7oSLPnEg9eIdjqeThb47QXevgJf6= 9qnjRBCTHgOyvobSsU$ for graphic product...
