Areas affected...southeastern Colorado and adjacent portions of
southwestern Kansas

Concerning...Tornado Watch 455...

Valid 070258Z - 070500Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 455 continues.

SUMMARY...An intense supercell, posing a continuing risk for large
hail, potential for a tornado or two, and severe wind gusts,
probably will be maintained across and south-southeast of the Lamar
CO vicinity through 10-11 PM MDT.

DISCUSSION...While the deep-layer shear is strong, ambient westerly
mean flow appears a rather modest 20 kt, allowing for a rather
pronounced rightward (southward) deviate motion to the large ongoing
supercell approaching the Lamar vicinity. In the presence of
modestly strengthening southeasterly flow around 850 mb mb (25-30
kt), this is contributing to strong southerly near-surface updraft
inflow, roughly aligned with a baroclinic zone earlier enhanced by
strong differential surface heating. The boundary-layer along this
frontal zone, extending southeast of the Lamar area into the
Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles, remains characterized by moderately
large CAPE and likely to maintain intense convective development.=20
This may continue to include a well-defined supercell structure on
the southern/southwestern flank of an upscale growing cluster.
