DISCUSSION...Latest radar composite shows vigorous storms -- within a broader mesoscale system -- moving across southeastern Nebraska/northeastern Kansas, in tandem with an eastward-moving mesolow near the southeastern Nebraska/northeastern Kansas border.=20 The storms are ongoing just north of a west-to-east surface frontal zone, where a very moist boundary layer and associated axis of moderate mixed-layer CAPE (1500 to 2500 J/kg exists). With the instability axis extending eastward across northern Missouri to central Illinois, and presence of low-level ascent near the frontal zone, it appears likely that the organized system will be sustained as it moves eastward with time.=20=20 Despite more than ample thermodynamic support, severe threat should overall remain hindered by very modest deep-layer west-northwesterly flow through the lower and middle troposphere. A very slightly boundary layer near -- and especially to the cool side -- of the surface front should also curtail more widespread/organized damaging-wind risk. Still, local potential for marginal hail, and an occasional strong gust near severe levels, will be possible over the next several hours. At this time, barring substantial/unanticipated organization of the convection linearly, WW issuance will remain unlikely given the expected isolated/sporadic nature of the risk. ...Goss/Guyer.. 08/26/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5ctdgC7C7wIXJnxZEQ35dGY95dJQ1uzAqKYIhjD7ZdTnfxMFTnDGdGpK3soDzlXCAElGQD44H= jdh2iHlfF_cK8ifaj0$ for graphic product...
