    Mesoscale Discussion 1524
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1105 AM CDT Thu Oct 04 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of western/northern Colorado

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 041605Z - 041800Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated damaging gusts will be possible through early
    afternoon as storms quickly move northeast across western/northern
    Colorado.

    DISCUSSION...On the nose of relatively focused ascent from a compact
    shortwave trough, a line of thunderstorms (moving northeast around
    35-45 mph) has organized across western Colorado this morning. KGJT
    (Grand Junction, CO) gusted to 49 kt at 1541 UTC with the passage of
    this line. This threat may persist into the early afternoon hours,
    considering the intersection of strong southwesterly flow aloft and
    several layers of modestly steep lapse rates (around 7-7.5 C/km)
    noted in the 12Z GJT sounding. Additionally, some surface heating
    ahead of the line and organization of a trailing precipitation
    shield may further support this damaging wind potential. While a
    watch is not expected (due to limited coverage of the threat),
    isolated damaging gusts may persist into early afternoon across
    northern Colorado, and 5% wind probabilities will be added with the
    1630Z outlook. This threat should diminish during the afternoon,
    though, as convection outpaces any substantive surface-based
    buoyancy.
