Areas affected...East-central Colorado...northwestern Kansas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 241837Z - 242030Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...A risk for severe wind gusts and an isolated hail threat
will be possible this afternoon. Trends will be monitored for a
possible WW.
DISCUSSION...Storms have initiated within a surface trough in
central Colorado. As these storms push east, they will encounter
richer surface moisture with dewpoints in the mid- to upper-50s. A
plume of steep mid-level lapse rates was evident within the region,
per DVN, DDC, and LBF 12Z soundings. Strong surface heating has also
been taking place with temperatures into the 80s. MLCAPE values are
currently between 1000-1500 J/kg within the zone of better surface
moisture. With continued surface heating these values should
increase. Effective bulk shear values are between 25-30 kts which
will be supportive of some storm organization. Given the steep
low-level lapse rates and surface dewpoint depressions, storms
should congeal with time and primarily pose a severe wind gust risk.
However, at least initially, the steep mid-level lapse rates and
marginal shear will also support a risk for severe hail. MRMS MESH
values have been above an inch with ongoing storms. A WW may be
needed if convective trends warrant.
