DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms are developing along a surface trough ahead of the synoptic cold front in a low-level warm advection regime. Low-level inhibition is still quite strong and this activity is likely elevated. However, modified 16z forecast soundings indicate large instability above 700 mb (MUCAPE around 3000 J/kg) with around 35-40 kt effective shear magnitudes. Elongated/straight hodographs above 2 km, coupled with midlevel lapse rates around 7.5-8 C/km, suggest large hail may accompany any persistent updrafts. Given strong MLCINH it is uncertain how persistent this convection may be, though the downstream environment will continue to destabilize through the afternoon. A severe thunderstorm watch may be needed for parts of the MCD area in the next couple of hours, though timing is a bit uncertain. ...Leitman/Smith.. 08/11/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9l3uwKfiQvqrrIH9H4z9I11N-Ha9bGsC_84KlbOjK9Q3Ks1mV6l9zKbQ-JL8U-MyWuNB3WQYM= OQe1z0_1zeY1DchGpU$ for graphic product...
