DISCUSSION...At 1930Z, convection is gradually increasing near a weak surface boundary across southeast KS into southwest MO, in advance of an MCV moving across south-central KS. While widespread clouds are noted across much of the area, somewhat more substantial heating has occurred to the south/east of the boundary, where some clearing has occurred this afternoon. Where temperatures have risen into the mid/upper 80s F, MLCAPE has increased into the 1500-2500 J/kg range, per recent mesoanalyses. A few strong storms may evolve along this instability axis this afternoon, as modestly enhanced midlevel flow associated with the MCV overspreads the region. A few briefly organized cells/clusters will be possible, with locally damaging winds possible where low-level lapse rates have steepened. Another round of potentially strong storms will be possible this evening across the same general region, as a low-level jet becomes focused into the area. ..Dean/Bunting.. 07/15/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
