A WW issuance is not currently anticipated. DISCUSSION...Strong boundary-layer heating and broad surface lee troughing is supporting the development of isolated, high-based supercells across the northern Plains. 100 F surface temperatures amid low 50s-60s F dewpoints (40-50 F T/Td spreads) preceding the supercells are contributing to 9+ C/km boundary-layer lapse rates. While 7-8 C/km mid-level lapse rates and 40+ kts of effective bulk shear (driven by elongated hodographs) suggest that mid-level updraft rotation and hail potential exists, the deep and hot boundary layer may promote sufficient melting of hail as well as evaporation of rain to support a severe gust threat through the remainder of the afternoon. Given the isolated nature of the storms and their severe threat, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance is not currently expected. ...Squitieri/Grams.. 07/26/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7xF1-MTpu5QoD_vOoSry1EP2FZ7LJ-rqHTLMXmSUVdfz_yJ4DctXBMqusV1PgZqOVOJUSmwlD= yeooj7Jcl-LON0ntZY$ for graphic product...
