A watch may be needed. DISCUSSION...An MCV is currently situated over north central Kansas, with an outflow/differential heating boundary across parts of southeastern Kansas. Due to daytime heating, particularly south of the boundary, along with surface dewpoints generally in the low to mid 70s F, inhibition has been removed across the region. There is some enhanced flow aloft round the MCV, which has provided ~30 kts of effective bulk shear. Low-level shear is generally fairly weak, though there is some enhancement in the weak easterly flow north of the differential heating boundary. Given modest deep-layer shear, multicell clusters with transient supercells are possible through the afternoon, and any supercells would carry a risk of a brief tornado, particularly where low-level shear is locally enhanced. However, overall weak low-level flow and poor lapse rates may limit the tornado threat. In addition, the atmosphere is quite moist, and the water loading in downdrafts may lead to a risk for damaging gusts as cell cluster with time. Trends are being monitored for a possible watch. ...Supinie/Guyer.. 07/25/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9hb4RA1eBf9T5W8HwxgQIxaaChwZeI2eeYdlwnfjahFaJxG-75Lg4fKLoRa5AF9pmLFoTncZq= JNTnDhag1o-wFSfTOA$ for graphic product...
