    Mesoscale Discussion 1060
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0304 PM CDT Mon Jul 16 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of central/northeastern Wyoming

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 162004Z - 162200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Initial storm development has taken place along the Big
    Horn Mountains. Storm coverage intensity is expected to increase
    with the approach of mid-level shortwave trough. Large hail and
    severe wind gusts will be possible. A WW may be needed in the next
    few hours.

    DISCUSSION...A few storms have developed along the Big Horn
    Mountains this afternoon. As a mid-level shortwave trough now over
    western Wyoming, per latest water vapor imagery, approaches,
    increased large-scale ascent should aid in continued storms
    development. As storms move off of the higher terrain, they will
    encounter a modestly unstable airmass where dewpoints have generally
    held in the mid- to upper-50s. Continued surface heating will will
    yield MLCAPE values from 1000-1500 J/kg. An initial discrete storm
    mode will be favored with 30-40 kts of effective bulk shear. Long,
    straight hodographs and mid-level lapse rates around 8 C/km suggest
    large hail is possible. Large temperature/dewpoint spreads will also
    favor gusty outflow, particularly as storm outflow congeals with
    time. A WW may be needed in the next few hours.
