    Mesoscale Discussion 1404
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0537 PM CDT Sat Sep 01 2018

    Areas affected...Northeast CO...southern NE Panhandle to extreme
    southwest NE...and extreme northwest KS

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 012237Z - 020030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail and strong wind gusts will be possible with
    the strongest storms developing and moving across northeast Colorado
    and the southern Nebraska Panhandle toward portions of southwest
    Nebraska and northwest Kansas.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in late afternoon mosaic radar imagery showed a north-northeast to south-southwest oriented broken band of
    thunderstorms moving to the east-northeast across northeast CO,
    while additional storms were developing across the southern NE
    Panhandle. Visible imagery indicated that earlier cloudiness has
    spread northeast away from a narrow corridor of far northeast CO,
    allowing for full sunshine immediately downstream of these storms,
    with surface heating also persisting in advance of the NE Panhandle
    storms. Meanwhile, east-southeasterly surface winds are advecting
    higher dew points (mid-upper 50s F) into northeast CO beneath steep
    midlevel lapse rates contributing to late afternoon destabilization
    and weakening of surface-based inhibition.

    Last several runs of the operational HRRR suggest a small complex of
    storms will advance northeast across northeast CO and the southern
    NE PANHANDLE into extreme southwest NE and the adjacent part of
    northwest KS this evening. Water vapor imagery showed a
    low-amplitude impulse tracking into northeast CO, and forcing for
    ascent this feature should support additional storms spreading
    northeast as suggested by the HRRR. Given relatively weak forcing
    with the impulse and shorter duration of current diabatic heating,
    limiting the erosion of inhibition, a watch is not expected.
