    Areas affected...Southwest/Central SD...Northwest NE and NE
    Panhandle

    Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely

    Valid 162015Z - 162145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm development is possible later this
    afternoon into early evening, with a primary threat of large hail
    and locally damaging winds. Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance is
    likely.

    DISCUSSION...At 20Z, a surface low is located over eastern CO, with
    a nearly stationary surface boundary extending northeast through
    western NE into central/northeast SD. Temperatures have warmed well
    into the 90s F to the south of the boundary, while rich low-level
    moisture resides near and just to the north of the boundary. Given
    these surface conditions and steep midlevel lapse rates,
    moderate-to-strong buoyancy (MLCAPE 2000-3500 J/kg) has developed
    from western NE into southern SD. Meanwhile, sufficient midlevel
    flow is resulting in effective shear values of 35-45 kt along and to
    the north of the boundary.

    As a midlevel trough currently noted over eastern CO moves
    north-northeastward into this evening, thunderstorm initiation is
    expected along and to the north of the surface boundary, with other
    ongoing convection across the CO Front Range potentially expanding northeastward with time into the NE Panhandle. Initial discrete
    convection may evolve into a few supercells capable of large hail
    and locally damaging wind. Some tornado potential will also exist
    with any supercell interacting with the frontal boundary, though
    generally weak low-level shear should temper the tornado threat.
    With time, evolution into one or more clusters is possible, with a
    continued threat of locally severe wind/hail.

    Given the threats mentioned above, Severe Thunderstorm Watch
    issuance is expected by 21Z.
