Damaging winds and hail will be possible, and an additional watch may be needed soon. DISCUSSION...A line of storms continues to push east into northwest MO, with additional cells persisting across northeast KS. In this area, strong warm advection continues near and atop earlier outflow, aiding lift with severe hail evident in ongoing cells. Farther west, surface observations show a rapidly retreating dryline into south-central KS, with southerly surface winds gusting well over 30 kt and dewpoints into the lower 60s F. IR imagery clearly shows the warming/theta-e return across KS.=20 Meanwhile, a strong cold front is surging across western KS and southwest NE, with 50+ kt non-convective wind gusts. As this front intercepts the moisture return, a rapid growth of storms producing damaging gusts and hail will be possible. While SRH will remain strong due to the low-level jet, the tornado risk should be brief at best given the undercutting cold front. A conditional tornado risk exists should a storm form ahead of the front, but capping is expected to minimize that potential. ...Jewell/Guyer.. 04/20/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5XiC9Rrd8zVajen9smJoWa9N-BRXJRv0XxdqDxxA-Gn8f-AguZXaeWTNENwxwyORpuy0lsm8m= M-N3DmrPKLwi8gEjbU$ for graphic product...
