    Mesoscale Discussion 1640

    Areas affected...Parts of northeastern CO...southwestern NE...and
    far northwestern KS

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 201425Z - 201600Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Locally severe gusts could continue with an organized
    cluster of thunderstorms this morning. A watch is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...KGLD/KFTG radar data shows an organized line segment
    tracking east-northeastward at around 30-35 kt over northeastern CO
    this morning. A 55-kt gust was recently measured in Akron CO with
    this activity. While surface observations and the LBF observed
    sounding suggest lingering nocturnal boundary-layer static
    stability, forced ascent associated with an upstream mesoscale low
    and a corridor of upper 60s dewpoints are likely aiding in
    near-surface based inflow given steep midlevel lapse rates.

    Around 30 kt of midlevel flow (per regional VWP), the favorably rich
    low-level moisture, and ascent preceding the mesoscale low, may
    favor continued organization and the potential for locally severe
    gusts during the next hour or two. A watch is not currently expected
    given the localized nature of the threat.
