    Mesoscale Discussion 1234
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1245 PM CDT Sun Aug 05 2018

    Areas affected...Southeast Wyoming...Western Nebraska
    Panhandle...and far northern Colorado

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 051745Z - 051945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...There is an increasing severe weather threat through the
    afternoon across portions of the High Plains. Large hail and
    damaging winds will be the primary threats.

    DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms developed early this morning in far
    southwest Wyoming ahead of an approaching mid-level shortwave. These
    storms have maintained their intensity across the state and the lead
    storm in Carbon county has recently strengthened with a 66 mph wind
    gust measured at 1120 AM at the Halleck Ridge WYDOT sensor. In
    addition, this storm has recently exhibited strengthening mid-level
    rotation and has turned to the right of the mean wind indicating it
    is likely becoming more surface based. Most of southeast Wyoming has
    been cloudy until the last few hours which has limited
    destabilization with only around 250 to 500 J/kg of MLCAPE as of 17Z
    per RAP mesoanalysis. However, this weak instability combined with
    50 to 55 knots of effective shear has proven sufficient for
    supercell development. Given the clearing ahead of this storm,
    additional destabilization is expected with MLCAPE increasing to
    around 1000 J/kg by later this afternoon per CYS forecast soundings.
    This environment should support persistence of current storm
    activity with additional storm development possible. Any storms
    which develop will likely be supercellular given the forecast shear
    and instability. Additional storms may develop over the terrain
    through the day and continue to move into southeast Wyoming.
