    Areas affected...southeast Wyoming into north-central and northeast
    Colorado

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

    Valid 061937Z - 062130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms will begin to develop and gradually increase in
    coverage and intensity over the next several hours from southeast
    Wyoming southward toward Denver Colorado. The hail threat is
    forecast to increase over time, with very large damaging hail later
    this afternoon and evening.

    DISCUSSION...Surface observations and visible satellite imagery show
    a pocket of heating roughly from Denver northeastward with
    temperatures well into the 70s F. Convergence is also maximized here
    due to the local cyclone, and with the easterly upslope regime
    extending north to the Laramie Mountains.

    Dewpoints of 55-60 F combined with temperatures in the 70s result in
    SBCAPE around 2500 J/kg, with steep lapse rates aloft. Impressive
    mid to high level winds are also elongating hodographs, creating
    very favorable shear profiles for long-lived hail storms.

    Current expectation is for an isolated hail threat over the next
    hour or two as cells form over the high terrain and interact with
    pockets of strong instability/heated air. Eventually a more robust
    supercell and damaging hail threat is anticipated as a large swath
    of uncapped, strongly unstable air develops by later afternoon, with
    threat persisting farther east toward KS by evening.
