    Areas affected...parts of central and southeastern Colorado

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

    Valid 062259Z - 070100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Intense thunderstorm development, initially including
    isolated supercells posing a risk for large, damaging hail and
    potential for tornadoes, appears possible as early as 6-8 PM MDT.=20
    Trends are being monitored for an additional severe weather watch.

    DISCUSSION...A surface low has been in the process of developing to
    the east of Pueblo, where sustained 2-4 mb 2-hourly surface pressure
    falls have been occurring. While insolation and downslope flow have contributed to a deepening well-mixed boundary layer around La
    Junta, an upslope component into the southern slopes of the Palmer
    Divide is maintaining boundary-layer moisture. This appears to be
    contributing to mixed-layer CAPE in excess of 2000 J/kg. Latest
    objective analysis suggests that mid-level inhibition is becoming
    increasingly negligible where stronger low-level convergence is
    focused, roughly north of Lamar into the Limon vicinity.

    Pronounced veering of winds with height, beneath 30-50+ kt flow in
    the 500-300 mb layer across this region, is contributing to strong
    deep-layer shear supportive of supercells if and when thunderstorm
    development initiates. This appears possible as early as 00-02Z,
    and stronger convection may be accompanied by a risk for large,
    damaging hail, and potential for tornadoes as a southerly low-level
    jet strengthens further across southeastern Colorado.
