Areas affected...Southeast CO...Southwest KS
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 012238Z - 012345Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Southeast Colorado is being monitored for storm
development in the next 1-2 hours. While storm coverage will likely
remain isolated at best, one or two supercells may develop with a
threat of large hail and locally severe wind gusts.
DISCUSSION...The 22Z surface analysis depicts a 1005 mb low across
far southeast CO, with a stationary front extending east-southeast
into northwest OK, and a dryline running north-south from the
eastern OK Panhandle into the TX Big Bend region. Along and just
north of the stationary front, a narrow corridor of mid 50s F
dewpoints is supporting MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg, with MLCINH
becoming minimal near the boundary where surface temperatures have
warmed into the 70s F.
While large-scale ascent appears to be weak at best across the area,
continued convergence near the surface low and the attendant
boundaries should eventually result in at least isolated storm
development. Low-level easterly flow veering to moderate westerly
flow aloft is supporting effective shear of 50-60 kt, more than
sufficient for supercell development. If a supercell can develop,
long hodographs and steep midlevel lapse rates will support a large
hail threat, with locally severe wind gusts also possible. While
low-level shear is relatively weak, a tornado could also not be
ruled out with any sustained supercell, given the presence of
low-level vorticity near the surface boundaries.
Given the uncertainty regarding the coverage of storms across this
area, it is unclear if a watch will be needed, though a Severe
Thunderstorm Watch is possible if one or more substantial supercells
appear imminent.
