    Areas affected...South-central/southwest NE...northwestern
    KS...eastern CO...and northeastern NM

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

    Valid 191943Z - 192145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe-risk will increase during the next few hours.
    Large hail and damaging winds are the primary concerns. A watch may
    eventually be needed for parts of the area.

    DISCUSSION...Latest surface observations indicate a surface
    boundary/wind shift extending roughly from the Palmer Divide
    northeastward into southwestern NE -- where cumulus continues to
    deepen and isolated convective initiation is ongoing. Additional
    convective development is noted along the higher terrain from CO
    southward into NM. Through this corridor, continued diurnal heating
    of a moist outflow-modified air mass (middle 50s to lower/middle 60s
    dewpoints) beneath steep midlevel lapse rates will yield moderate
    surface-based instability. Farther northeast in south-central NE, an
    additional recovering outflow boundary (evident in visible satellite
    loops) may also provide a focus for thunderstorm development --
    aided by pockets of heating through cloud breaks.

    With a belt of 30-40 kt midlevel westerlies (per regional VWP) atop
    sheltered east-northeasterly low-level flow, long/mostly straight
    hodographs (40-50 kt of effective shear) will favor splitting
    supercells and organized clusters capable of large hail and severe
    winds. There is uncertainty on overall convective evolution and
    coverage of storms given lingering inhibition associated with
    earlier outflow and generally weak large-scale ascent, though a
    watch may eventually be needed for parts of the area.
