it is obvious that (or just obviously)
it will be apparent that
self-evidently (or just evidently)
it would appear that
it can be seen that
it is clear that (or just clearly)
it goes without saying
there is also a Latin phrase, much used in the legal profession which means "it goes without saying": "Res Ipsa Loquitur". If this is written between lawyers - usually preceded by the term "with respect..." it usually means "this should be obvious to even the most stupid individual, so why are you too dense to grasp this simple fact?", or words to that effect.

Therefore--
Thus, it appears that--
In conclusion--
This makes it clear that--
I hope these examples are useful to you.

You may not want to put it in there at all. Think about it for a minute. If someone can see something, they don't need to have that fact pointed out to them. They've already seen it!
It's kind of like "needless to say." If it's needless to say, then by god, don't say it!

Depending on context:
"It is obvious that"
"Cleary. . ."
"It goes almost without saying. . ."
"As is apparent. . ."
The list goes on.
