    Mesoscale Discussion 0375

    Areas affected...Southeast Wyoming...southwest Nebraska...and
    northeast Colorado

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 101856Z - 102100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms will form over the higher terrain within the next
    hour or two. A watch will likely be needed as these storms move
    northeast.

    DISCUSSION...The combination of low-level upslope flow, and an
    approaching shortwave trough will trigger storm development across
    the higher terrain of the Laramie Range in the next hour or two.
    Further east, low-level moisture advection beneath very steep
    mid-level lapse rates greater than 8.5 C/km has led to weak
    surface-based destabilization across southeastern WY, northeast CO,
    and southwest NE. Diabatic heating under clear skies in addition to
    increasing low-level moisture from the southeast will lead to
    further destabilization with MLCAPE around 1500 J/kg this afternoon.
    Storms will form on the southern periphery of a mid-level speed max
    which will provide sufficient mid-level flow for storm organization.
    This was sampled by the 1818Z VWP from CYS with around 35 knots of west-southwesterly flow around 5 to 6 km. Resultant effective bulk
    shear values of 40 to 45 knots combined with the greater instability
    will support supercell structures as these storms move east. Given
    the steep mid-level lapse rates, and a well-mixed sub-cloud layer,
    large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threats. Low-level
    hodographs and storm mode may support a tornado threat, however,
    high LCLs should limit a greater tornado risk.

    Areas affected...Portions of central Texas toward the Edwards
    Plateau

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 172359Z - 180100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe threat will continue to increase this evening
    across central TX. Damaging winds and large hail will be the main
    threats with storms this evening into the nighttime hours. A watch
    will likely be needed soon.

    DISCUSSION...Towering CU and most recently, an isolated
    thunderstorm, were increasing in the vicinity of the surface dryline
    across parts of the Concho Valley in central TX. This development is
    perhaps a little earlier than forecast, but several factors,
    including increasing midlevel clouds and towering CU across the TX
    Big Bend vicinity into Mexico west of Del Rio, along with RAP
    analysis and moistening evident in midlevel water vapor channel
    suggest that stronger forcing is beginning to enter the region.
    Initial isolated convection will pose a threat for very large hail
    with midlevel lapse rates approaching 8 C/km and effective shear
    greater than 50kt. While backed low level flow exists to the east of
    the dryline, 0-2km shear is only on the order of 10-20 kt. This,
    coupled with the fact that any discrete cells should remain rather
    high-based should limit tornado potential. As forcing continues to
    increase during the evening hours and a southwesterly low level jet
    increases, more vigorous development is expected along the
    dryline/effective cold front and this activity will quickly take on
    a linear storm mode, posing a damaging wind threat as the line
    shifts eastward across central TX. A watch will likely be needed
    soon.
