    Areas affected...Northeast Colorado...Southeast Wyoming...Southwest Nebraska...Northwest Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 081924Z - 082130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms are likely to increase in coverage and intensity
    within the Higher terrain of northeast Colorado and southeast
    Wyoming. Additional development is possible along a stationary
    boundary in the High Plains. Large/very-large (2-3.5 inches) hail,
    severe wind gusts (some 75+ mph), and a tornado or two are possible.
    A watch is likely this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...A potent upper-level low is evident on water vapor
    imagery across eastern Idaho/western Wyoming. This feature appears
    to be aiding in convective development from the Laramie Range into
    the Front Range farther south. This initial convection has been
    relatively short-lived as temperatures have remained cool near the
    terrain and inhibition has consequently been slow to erode. A
    stationary boundary is draped across the High Plains from southeast
    Wyoming into northeast Colorado and western Kansas.

    Greater coverage of storms and an eventual increase in intensity is
    most likely to emanate from the higher terrain -- a solution that
    all CAM guidance seems to agree upon. However, a local breach in the
    cap is possible along the boundary. Storms that are able to initiate
    here would be supercells capable of large to very-large (2-3.5
    inches) hail and severe wind gusts. The tornado threat will be
    maximized with discrete storms along the boundary. A greater wind
    threat will exist with any clustering/MCS that develops, whether
    within the terrain to the west or along the boundary to the east.
    Some of these wind gusts could exceed 75 mph.
