Areas affected...Portions of southeast and east-central CO into far southwest/west-central KS

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 398...

Valid 082320Z - 090045Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 398
continues.

SUMMARY...Risk of very large hail (up to 2.75 inches), significant
gusts (70-80 mph), and a couple tornadoes continues across parts of
Severe Thunderstorm Watch 398.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar data from KGLD/KPUX depicts a pair of
intense discrete supercells tracking generally east/southeastward at
around 20 kt over Kit Carson, Cheyenne, and Lincoln Counties in
east-central CO. A tornado and baseball-sized hail has been reported
with the northern/eastern supercell. These storms are in a very
favorable environment for the maintenance of supercells, with
moist/backed easterly surface winds (lower 60s dewpoints) beneath a
belt of 40-50-kt midlevel westerlies (per regional VWP).
Additionally, ample clockwise low-level hodograph curvature (around
250 m2/s2 effective SRH) should support continued strong
low/midlevel mesocyclones given the seperated/discrete mode. As a
result, very large hail (up to 2.75 inches) and a couple tornadoes
are the main concern with these storms, with locally damaging gusts
also probable.=20

Farther south over Otero and Bent Counties in southeastern CO, an
intense line segment has evolved in a moderately unstable air mass.
40 kt of effective shear orthogonal to the line and a
moist/well-mixed boundary layer should support the maintenance or
even intensification of these storms as they continue eastward.
Significant gusts of 70-80 mph could accompany this activity. A
brief mesovortex tornado or two is also possible with these storms,
given the ample low-level SRH described above.
