Watch issuance is likely. DISCUSSION...Some increase in convection has recently been noted within a midlevel cloud deck across east-central KS, which is likely the beginning of an increase in storm coverage and intensity that will continue through the evening. Steep midlevel lapse rates, moderate to strong buoyancy, and effective shear of 40+ kt (as noted on the 00Z TOP sounding) will support organized convection this evening as storm coverage increases within a low-level warm advection regime.=20 Initial discrete storms could pose a risk of very large hail, given the favorable buoyancy and shear. While low-level flow/shear is currently rather weak, some increase is possible this evening, and a tornado cannot be ruled out, especially with any supercell that is sustained within the modified outflow where winds are locally backed. Some upscale growth is possible later this evening, which would pose an increasing severe-wind risk as storms tend to propagate south/southeastward with time. Watch issuance is likely within the hour in response to these threats. ...Dean/Guyer.. 07/13/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4D4U68myFDgydZ1KA2cXgyyS83GaepPG2wCFxVqXc8cjxYyC01n453KTVS8no6tIyg5-raU84= 7ugk2xyXJ7kGdfnDbs$ for graphic product...
