    Mesoscale Discussion 1337
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0357 PM CDT Tue Aug 21 2018

    Areas affected...Southeastern Colorado...northeast New
    Mexico...northwestern Texas Panhandle...western Oklahoma Panhandle

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 212057Z - 212300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A few storms will move off of the higher terrain this
    afternoon. Initial threat will be isolated hail as activity will be
    marginally supercellular. With time, storms should congeal and pose
    more of a severe wind gust threat. A WW is not anticipated, but
    trends will be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...A few thunderstorms have initiated along the Sangre de
    Cristo mountains in Colorado and New Mexico. With time, this
    activity should move off of the higher terrain into an unstable
    environment characterized by 1000 J/kg MLCAPE in the northern
    discussion area to 2500 J/kg to the south. Modest upslope flow has
    contributed to 25-30 kts of effective bulk shear. At least initial
    development will be marginally supercellular with at least an
    isolated hail threat, given mid-level lapse rates of 7.5-8 C/km.
    Storms are then expected to congeal/cluster where a wind threat will
    become the primary concern. A tornado cannot completely be ruled out
    should a storm interact with a surface boundary near the CO/OK/NM
    border. A WW is not anticipated, but convective trends in
    organization/coverage of storms will be monitored.
