Severe gusts and isolated hail are both possible. A watch issuance is possible this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis shows a northeast/southwest- oriented cold front extending from northwest MO into parts of central OK this afternoon -- where shallow boundary-layer cumulus is beginning to develop. Continued diurnal heating amid rich boundary-layer moisture (lower 70s surface dewpoints) along/immediately ahead of the east-southeastward-moving front should support convective initiation in the next few hours. Steep low/mid-level lapse rates and 20-30-kt midlevel west-southwesterly flow oriented oblique to the surface front (strongest across MO) will initially support semi-discrete storms capable of marginally severe hail and locally severe gusts. However, a fairly quick transition from cells to an organized line of storms is expected as storms maintain residence time in the frontal circulation amid increasing outflow generation. This mode transition will favor an increasing severe-wind threat as the front continues slowly east-southeastward into the evening hours. Currently, the potential for an organized QLCS appears greatest over parts of MO -- where deep-layer shear and large-scale ascent will be stronger compared to areas farther southwest. However, 100 deg surface temperatures and related steep low-level lapse rates will still support severe-thunderstorm gusts into central OK. A watch issuance is possible this afternoon for parts of the area. ...Weinman/Guyer.. 09/05/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5ltUP-9oXdwPQqtgI89b_USjqLgzwcjtE9g_2CSIvYisV_QVjY_p242n4N0TfJIcsIF5DSUEF= 1eigZ0m3SnkQ-FDFhA$ for graphic product...
