    Mesoscale Discussion 0654

    Areas affected...Central High Plains

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 062049Z - 062215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe threat is increasing across the central High
    Plains. Hail/wind should accompany storms as they mature and spread
    east this evening. WW is warranted across this region.

    DISCUSSION...Strong boundary-layer heating has contributed to
    significant destabilization across the central High Plains this
    afternoon. Surface observations are nearing convective temperatures
    with readings climbing into the lower 90s. Convection is gradually
    deepening along the Front Range of CO and thermals are strengthening
    north of the Palmer Divide. These storms will gradually intensify
    over the next few hours as updrafts encounter increasingly
    moist/upslope flow over northeast CO. While initial activity may
    exhibit supercell characteristics, latest thinking is clustering
    will occur over the plains this evening and an MCS may ultimately
    evolve into southwest NE as LLJ strengthens after sunset.

    Farther south, boundary-layer Cu field is deepening over western KS.
    This activity is evolving within a fairly unstable air mass with
    MLCAPE values on the order 4000 J/kg. Latest CAM guidance suggests thunderstorms will develop over the next few hours across western
    KS. Slow-moving supercells will be the initial storm mode, but
    clusters will likely occur and a possible MCS may develop by late
    evening. Large hail and wind can be expected across the High Plains,
    although a tornado can not be ruled out with early-evening
    supercells.
