As this occurs, it may be accompanied by increasing risk for strong surface gusts. DISCUSSION...A recent increase in thunderstorm development to the east through south of Mullen NE appears rooted within forcing for ascent due to warm advection in the 850-700 mb layer. This appears to accompany a subtle mid-level perturbation within moderately strong, broadly cyclonic west-northwesterly mid-level flow, which will continue to dig across central Nebraska, toward the lower Missouri Valley, through midday. Of particular note, moistening within the elevated southeasterly to southerly updraft inflow layer is contributing to increasing CAPE.=20 And boundary-layer destabilization, along and south of a developing zone of strengthening differential surface heating across southwestern Nebraska and western Kansas through the central Nebraska/Kansas border area, appears likely to include CAPE increasing in excess of 2000 J/kg by midday. Although the warm advection forcing for ascent may weaken by mid to late morning, southeastward advecting convection may be maintained long enough to encounter increasing inflow of the buoyant boundary-layer air mass. As this occurs, more rapid intensification of thunderstorms may ensue, with strong deep-layer shear contributing to a better organized, upscale growing cluster with increasing potential to produce strong surface gusts. ...Kerr/Hart.. 07/14/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9RN0DXqkB0zYZGXq1fnu4liwrDGrynUBTKQzCK8iPmGD6NADVgeXV1nJ8AUBvrwq2it-GZLxI= FdCpUJC9NQwG8Y48v8$ for graphic product...
