Areas affected...portions of northeastern Colorado and western into
northern Nebraska and far southern South Dakota

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

Valid 301927Z - 302100Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...At least isolated severe hail/wind gusts may accompany the
stronger thunderstorms across portions of the central Plains as
storm coverage increases into the afternoon. Given likely low severe
coverage a WW issuance is not expected.

DISCUSSION...Convective initiation is underway along a diffuse cold
front that is meandering across northeast Colorado into eastern
South Dakota. Storm coverage will increase through the afternoon
since deep-layer ascent will increase as a mid-level trough grazes
the central Plains to the north. Given the northward passage of the
mid-level trough and associated stronger flow aloft, the more
favorable deep-layer shear will lag the cold front, so the
thunderstorms ahead of the front are not expected to become
organized on a widespread basis (precluding a WW issuance at this
time). However, 7+ C/km mid-level lapse rates overspreading low 60s
F surface dewpoints will yield up to 2000 J/kg MLCAPE in spots,
suggesting that at least isolated instances of severe wind or hail
may accompany the stronger storms. 19Z mesoanalysis also shows
strong low-level vertical vorticity coinciding with over 125 J/kg of
CAPE in the 0-3 km layer. As such, conditional potential exists for
a landspout if a strong updraft can anchor to the cold front.
