    Mesoscale Discussion 1194
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0146 PM CDT Sun Jul 29 2018

    Areas affected...southeast WY...NE Panhandle...northeast and
    east-central CO

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 291846Z - 291945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...A tornado watch will likely be needed by 2-3pm MDT for
    expected severe thunderstorm development this afternoon and an
    associated risk for tornadoes, from southeast WY into northeast CO.
    A severe thunderstorm watch will likely be issued farther east from
    the Black Hills vicinity southward into northwest KS.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery shows an agitated cumulus
    field over extreme southeast WY located downstream and to the
    southeast of glaciating convection 35 mi south of DGW. Low-level
    upslope flow is maintaining a moist fetch into the central High
    Plains and the boundary layer will continue to warm through the
    middle to upper 70s by mid afternoon. KCYS VAD data shows a
    strongly veering hodograph around 1-1.5 km ARL with flow increasing
    with height through 5km. Forecast soundings show west-northwesterly
    flow increasing from 50kt at 500mb to 90kt at 250mb. As low-level
    lapse rates steepen and additional heating occurs, convective
    inhibition will erode and isolated to scattered thunderstorms will
    develop and intensify.

    Supercells are likely to evolve from the most intense updrafts with
    splitting supercells expected given the straight-line hodographs
    depicted in forecast soundings. Large to very large hail will
    likely occur with the stronger and more persistent/rotating
    updrafts. A tornado risk will tend to be confined to southeast WY
    and northeast CO where RH in the boundary layer will not support as
    much of a destructive tendency for cold/hostile RFDs. The tornado
    risk is conditional on right-moving supercells interacting and
    favorably augmenting the near-storm environment later this afternoon
    and early evening.

    Farther northeast near the Black Hills and the western part of the
    NE Sandhills, less favorable buoyancy and low-level shear will tend
    to promote a hail/wind risk with the stronger storms.
