DISCUSSION...Isolated convective initiation is underway across parts of southwestern Kansas this afternoon -- where some increase in large-scale ascent associated with a shortwave trough over the Rockies is overspreading a moist/unstable air mass. While low-level flow is quite weak, a belt of strengthening midlevel southwesterlies will contribute to 40-50 kt of effective shear. This wind profile, coupled with moderate surface-based instability, will support a few semi-discrete supercells capable of producing large hail and locally damaging gusts. With time, an additional cluster of severe storms will approach the area from southeastern CO, posing a risk of severe winds as well. Current thinking is that a watch will be needed to cover both rounds of convection this afternoon/evening. ...Weinman/Hart.. 06/30/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_Cb4XAsN4_eX33vuQeLupkN4Mk6o4HEBpvPcKCA2ssemnSa8203m1X19HoNkyRxOFvDcGYGZL= 5qzduI5Z0_SjY48P6U$ for graphic product...
