Mesoscale Discussion 0387

Areas affected...Southeastern Wyoming and far northern Colorado
Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely
Valid 111800Z - 112000Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...A few storms are expected to develop off the Laramie Range
and strengthen into supercells this afternoon. A severe thunderstorm
watch with large hail as the primary threat is likely.
DISCUSSION...A few lightning strikes have been detected with
convection currently bubbling over the higher terrain. While
surface-based instability is currently weak, daytime heating will
lead to MLCAPE values approaching 1000 J/kg later this afternoon.
Effective shear around 50 knots will lead to supercell structures
with any of the strong updrafts that develop. Storm coverage is
expected to be scattered with only a few strong storms. Very steep
mid-level lapse rates over 9 C/km combined with low freezing levels
and a relatively cool boundary layer will likely make these storms
prolific hail producers with a few significant hail reports
possible. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out as any supercell
interacts with vorticity rich easterly low-level flow. The eastward
progression of these storms will be limited due to the stabilizing
influences of the low-level stratus east of the Wyoming/Nebraska
border. The severe weather threat will be relatively confined
spatially in the highlighted threat area with a diminishing threat
by early evening, but given the favorable supercell environment, a
severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed this afternoon.
