Hail is the primary risk. DISCUSSION...Water-vapor imagery suggests a weak, low amplitude short-wave trough is located over the central Plains. This feature is translating east and may provide some encouragement for isolated convective development along/near a frontal zone that currently extends from south of CNK-north of STJ. 00z sounding from TOP exhibited very steep lapse rates, but notable capping was evident near 2km, and surface-based convection may struggle to develop as nocturnal cooling increases. However, large-scale ascent ahead of the short wave may cool/moist mid levels such that an elevated parcel is more likely to freely convect over the next few hours. This activity could briefly attain severe levels, but longevity/coverage may not warrant a severe thunderstorm watch. ...Darrow/Mosier.. 04/23/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-EnxIRuEbYH5aCDcYbuqh9ysLH--t0FPb4K_PSSj2I2W2BFFczVAKkrEP_OQ8VjW_pVUAHarK= ZlArvtZkjka_pQZbW0$ for graphic product...
