    Mesoscale Discussion 1121
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0150 PM CDT Sat Jul 21 2018

    Areas affected...Eastern Wyoming...Northeast Colorado...Western
    Nebraska...and Western South Dakota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 211850Z - 212115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms are beginning to develop over the higher terrain
    and along a surface boundary across southeast Wyoming into
    north-central Colorado. Severe hail/wind are possible this afternoon
    as these storms mature and move eastward.

    DISCUSSION...Storms should continue developing this afternoon across
    eastern Wyoming/northeast Colorado as strong daytime heating,
    enhanced surface convergence, and upslope flow act to destabilize
    lower-levels and break the cap. As storms move eastward, MLCAPE of
    500-2000+ J/kg should support deep convection although shear is
    relatively weak across the discussion area (effective bulk shear of
    20-35 knots). However, low-level shear is likely to increase with
    surface pressure falls helping to increase surface convergence and
    strengthen southeasterly flow. This may allow for stronger storms to
    develop and enhance the severe threat. Steep low-level lapse rates
    (9+ C/km) and high LCLs indicate the potential for severe wind and
    RAP soundings and mesoanalysis show 1200+ J/kg of DCAPE further
    supporting this risk. Severe hail is also possible, especially
    farther to the east/north across the discussion area as CAPE/shear
    increases.
