The environment is supportive of large/very-large hail and damaging winds. The tornado threat is expected to increase this evening as low-level shear increases near the boundary. DISCUSSION...Cores within a broad area of precipitation have occasionally pulsed in intensity. Some recent CAM guidance suggest that additional storms will develop out of this activity within the next 2-3 hours. While current wind profiles are not overly supportive of tornadoes, storms will be near the warm front and low-level shear should improve this evening as 850 mb winds increase. Given the background environment and potential evolution of this activity, a tornado watch will need to be considered. ...Wendt/Thompson.. 04/01/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9BHKA6zlZKyg7tOTxPbEGAsm9HCBz0-RXdM2F6dIKTILLlMQWVx2zkzCkA5DIYa9yvJQOV1Pf= BMFr3Et8B6svJKYnsI$ for graphic product...
