Areas affected...Southeast WY...Eastern CO...Northeast NM

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 301910Z - 302115Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe gusts are possible across the
central and southern High Plains this afternoon.

DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery has shown cumulus building
across the higher terrain of central CO, north-central NM, and
south-central WY from late morning until now. Lightning has recently
been observed in a few areas, indicating these cumulus have now
reached enough depth for lightning production. This overall trend of
gradually deepening cumulus is expected to continue, resulting in
progressively increasing thunderstorm coverage. Westerly mean flow
will take these currently developing storms into the lower
elevations of the southern and central High Plains.=20

The air mass over these lower elevations is already deeply mixed,
with this mixing expected to persist through the afternoon. Despite
this deep mixing, gradually increasing mid-level moisture will help
support modest buoyancy. As a result, storms will likely persist as
they move into this environment, with the high cloud bases and deep
mixing contributing to strong outflows and the potential for some
severe wind gusts. Overall severe coverage is expected to be
isolated, with the severe potential increasing farther east later
this evening as this storms and associated outflow interact with the
more buoyant air mass over that region. A watch will eventually be
needed as this activity moves east, but timing is uncertain.
