Areas affected...Portions of northeastern CO into western/central NE
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20
Valid 292018Z - 292215Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms should gradually intensify as they spread
northeastward this afternoon. Severe wind gusts and large hail
should be the main threats. Watch issuance is possible.
DISCUSSION...High-based showers and thunderstorms that initially
formed over the higher terrain of north-central CO and south-central
WY have produced measured wind gusts of 35-45 kt over the past
couple of hours as they moved into the High Plains of southeastern
WY and northeastern CO. 20Z surface analysis shows a weak front has
stalled across western KS into east-central CO. The ongoing
convection is occurring to the north of this boundary, but mostly
clear conditions and diurnal heating across northeastern CO and
western/central NE have steepened low-level lapse rates. This is
evident by adjusting the 18Z sounding from LBF with the 20Z surface observation, where MUCAPE has increased to around 1500 J/kg.
As daytime heating further steepens low-level lapse rates and
lingering convective inhibition erodes, high-resolution guidance
suggests the ongoing thunderstorms should strengthen over the next
couple of hours as they encounter greater low-level moisture and a
more unstable airmass. The presence of steep low/mid-level lapse
rates should encourage acceleration of strong to severe downdraft
winds to the surface. Although less clear, there may also be some
potential for isolated large hail if any supercells can develop
ahead of the thunderstorm cluster, as 35-50 kt of deep-layer shear
will support updraft organization. Observational trends will be
closely monitored over the next couple of hours for signs of
increasing convective organization and intensity, which may
eventually warrant watch issuance.
