    Mesoscale Discussion 0791

    Areas affected...Eastern Colorado

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 191748Z - 191945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe storms are expected to develop across eastern
    Colorado this afternoon including supercells. Large hail and
    damaging winds are likely and a few tornadoes are possible.

    DISCUSSION...Latest visible satellite imagery shows building cumulus
    along the Front Range with a thunderstorm near Boulder. Storms will
    continue developing along the Front Range and move eastward during
    the afternoon. An upper-level speed maxima is moving into the region
    that will help ascent and aid updraft development associated with
    upslope flow. Effective bulk shear of 40-55 knots and forecast
    MLCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg should result in a conducive environment
    for strong to severe thunderstorms. While low level flow remains
    relatively weak, easterly surface winds with stronger southwest flow
    aloft should provide enough veering in the profile to support
    rotating updrafts.

    Latest HRRR guidance shows a few discrete supercells forming along
    and east of the Front Range and continuing eastward through the
    afternoon. A multi-cell cluster should form in southeast Colorado
    separate from the Front Range convection in the vicinity of a
    surface low and front. These could merge later and form a downstream
    MCS into the evening. Large hail, damaging winds, and a few
    tornadoes are all possible if not likely especially with the
    strongest storms.
