Areas affected...Portions of the Colorado Front Range and far
southeastern Wyoming
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 141838Z - 142045Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to move off the Mountains and
high terrain through the afternoon posing a threat for severe wind
and hail. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is Possible.
DISCUSSION...Strong heating over the Central Colorado Mountains and
southern Laramie Range has contributed to thunderstorm development
over the last hour. Although surface dewpoints are in the upper 40s
to near 50 away from the Mountains, and scattered boundary-layer
stratocumulus over much of the area has kept temperatures in the
low-to-mid 60s, cold temperatures aloft on the eastern fringes of
the upper low is contributing to sufficient instability to support
eastward progression of the storms off the Front Range through the
afternoon.
From roughly the South Platte valley northward, effective bulk shear
is expected to remain quite low --25-30 kt-- which will preclude
anything more than transient supercell structures with these storms.
However, whereas a multicell mode will dominate over the northern
part of the area, effective shear increases to 40-50 kt over the
southern portion of the area. Upslope low-level flow, most
concentrated over the southern portion of the area, and
high-resolution guidance provides confidence that one or two
supercells should evolve along the Palmer divide and move
east-southeast over the Eastern Colorado Plains in mid-to-late
afternoon. Localized severe wind gusts and severe hail will be the
primary threat with these storms as weak low-level wind fields
should preclude any substantial tornado threat. Overall, the
expected lack of storm organization to the north, and the lack of
storm/severe coverage to the south is currently providing
uncertainty in the need for a Watch, but conditions will continue to
be monitored for indications of a more widespread severe threat
through the afternoon.
