DISCUSSION...Visible imagery shows attempts at storms increasing over western into north-central KS, within the deeply mixed/hot air and near the diffuse warm front near the NE border. Mean boundary-layer dewpoints are only in the 40s F at this time, but positive theta-e advection is forecast this evening as the low-level jet increases to over 50 kt. While capping will remain a concern, a conditional risk of severe hail exists given steep lapse rates aloft and 40+ kt effective shear. Localized wind damage could occur as well, as evaporative cooling could be substantial with the downdrafts. A watch is not currently expected given anticipated sparse storm coverage. ...Jewell/Edwards.. 04/18/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4gJgzaCzn2um1NyI4YJRCOuM8Plcca9Gh8DfXC3m5mqp9GqOhF9YWDHymtU84zvCLbeTsDGIE= sPrD1R00kVOM6vB8qA$ for graphic product...
