    Mesoscale Discussion 1261
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1106 PM CDT Tue Aug 07 2018

    Areas affected...Southeast CO...Far Southwest KS...Far Western OK
    Panhandle

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 080406Z - 080600Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and strong wind gusts possible. High
    forecast uncertainty precludes higher watch probabilities but trends
    will be monitored closely.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have recently developed across southeast
    CO (with new development also noted farther northwest near DEN).
    Impetus for these new storms is likely a combination of lift along a
    remnant outflow boundary, weak low-level upslope flow, and
    large-scale forcing for ascent attendant to the shortwave trough
    moving through WY. Steep mid-level lapse rates remain in place
    across the region (evidenced by the 00Z DNR sounding and recent RAP
    forecast soundings) but nocturnal cooling has lead to increase
    MLCIN. Even so, continued forcing from the mechanisms mentioned
    above may result in storm persistence and/or additional storm
    development. Moderate to strong vertical shear (i.e. 0-6 km bulk
    shear around 40 to 50 kt) exists across the region, which is
    supportive of updraft rotation and a resulting threat for hail and
    strong wind gusts. Some potential for upscale growth into a more
    organized linear system exists. Uncertainty in the overall forecast
    evolution merits low watch probability but convective trends across
    the region will be monitored closely.
