    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.

    Areas affected...Southern PA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 192159Z - 200000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Some increase in the threat for damaging wind and perhaps
    a tornado or two is possible into this evening. The area is being
    monitored for possible watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Widespread cloudiness has thus far limited
    destabilization and thunderstorm coverage across much of PA.
    However, deep-layer southerly flow has allowed substantial
    moistening to occur, with dewpoints now into the mid 60s F across
    southern PA, sufficient to support MLCAPE of 250-500 J/kg per recent
    objective mesoanalyses. As stronger convection currently across VA
    and the eastern WV panhandle spreads northward, some increase in the
    severe thunderstorm threat is expected into at least southern PA.
    Strong low-level southerly flow (40 kt or greater just above the
    surface) will support a threat of damaging wind with the strongest
    storms, while very favorable low-level shear/helicity will support a
    threat of a tornado or two.

    The primary uncertainty across this area is the ability of
    convection to maintain its intensity as it spreads into a region of
    very limited buoyancy. This renders the need for a watch uncertain
    at this time, but watch issuance is possible if it appears that
    organized convection to the south will be sustained as it moves into
    southern PA.
