    Mesoscale Discussion 1342
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0349 PM CDT Wed Aug 22 2018

    Areas affected...Southeastern Colorado...southwestern
    Kansas...Oklahoma Panhandle...northern Texas Panhandle...far
    northeastern New Mexico

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 222049Z - 222245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A few strong/severe storms will be possible this afternoon
    and evening. Isolated large hail and severe wind gusts will be
    possible with the strongest storms. Spatial extent of the threat is
    limited enough that a WW is not currently anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...Recent KPUX radar imagery shows storm development
    occurring along the Front Range of southeastern Colorado. Farther
    southeast, visible satellite imagery has shown a few attempts at
    initiation along the Raton Mesa as well as a continued pocket of
    agitated cumulus clouds in the northern Texas Panhandle. With at
    least modest, upslope flow in southeast Colorado and enhanced
    surface convergence along a surface trough/differential heating
    boundary, a cluster or two of storms may develop. With MLCAPE of
    1000-1500 J/kg and backed surface wind near the boundary
    contributing to effective deep-layer shear of 25-35 kts, isolated
    instances of severe hail and severe wind gusts will be possible with
    this activity. A strengthening low-level jet early this evening will
    likely sustain some of these storm clusters beyond sunset. Overall
    coverage of storms is not expected to be substantial. A WW is not
    anticipated.
