    Mesoscale Discussion 1886

    Areas affected...Portions of southeastern Wyoming into
    northeast/north-central Colorado

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

    Valid 121905Z - 122100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...The potential for isolated large hail and strong to
    locally severe gusts will gradually increase through the afternoon.
    The overall severe threat appears too marginal/localized for a
    watch.

    DISCUSSION...Latest day cloud phase satellite imagery indicates
    deepening boundary-layer cumulus along the Front Range and northward
    along the higher terrain into southeastern WY. Isolated
    thunderstorms have initiated in southeastern WY, where diurnal
    heating has eroded inhibition locally. Over the next several hours,
    continued heating amid upper 50s/lower 60s dewpoints should favor
    additional thunderstorm development along the higher terrain, before
    spreading eastward into the richer boundary-layer moisture.
    Sufficient (albeit weak) surface-based instability and effective
    shear increasing to around 30-40 kt could promote a few organized
    storms, including the potential for a supercell or two. Severe hail
    (generally up to 1.5 inches) and strong to locally severe gusts are
    possible with any longer-lived storms. However, current thinking is
    that the severe risk will be too localized/marginal for a watch.
