Trends will be monitored for a possible watch. DISCUSSION...Surface observations indicate a band of modest low-level confluence along the southern periphery of a baroclinic zone draped across parts of north-central IN -- where an isolated thunderstorm is tracking eastward from far east-central IL. Continued heating amid middle/upper 60s dewpoints is yielding moderate surface-based instability and steepening low-level lapse rates across the pre-convective environment. This instability, coupled with effective shear strengthening to around 30 kt, should support organized clusters and perhaps supercell structures capable of large hail and damaging winds this afternoon into early evening. Overall storm coverage is uncertain with generally weak large-scale ascent, though additional storms could develop within the confluence zone and spread east-southeastward into the increasingly favorable environment during the next few hours. Convective trends are being monitored for a possible watch this afternoon. ...Weinman/Bunting.. 07/17/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-JrpyzJ6jSwqARAku1mG8d501NFmWk2FpP-gmwnsGJJ1f4yG76veeWdCg3L17u-u56wmcviIp= -WkF1cDW9oiHAWklwM$ for graphic product...
