    Mesoscale Discussion 1495

    Areas affected...Southeast Wyoming...Northeast Colorado...and Far
    Western Nebraska

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 242024Z - 242300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms have begun to form across portions of the High
    Plains in southeast Wyoming, northeast Colorado, and far western
    Nebraska in the vicinity of surface low and along the Front Range.
    Hail and strong winds gusts are possible as these storms develop and
    move east.

    DISCUSSION...A broad upper-level trough is over the Northern Rockies
    and northern High Plains and embedded shortwave troughs are helping
    spread ascent over portions of this region including over the MD
    area. A surface low and subsequent surface front are helping to
    initiate storms over far southeast Wyoming and western Nebraska.
    However, updrafts are struggling to sustain themselves due to
    limited instability aloft and dry air entrainment. As heights
    continue to lower over the area and insolation further destabilizes
    the boundary layer, storms are likely to develop and mature over the
    next 2-4 hours. MLCAPE will likely only reach 250-750 J/kg and
    low-level flow should remain relatively weak (5-10 knots), but
    effective bulk shear of 40-60 knots should support a few rotating
    updrafts.

    Relatively large surface dewpoint depressions (20-40 F) and very
    strong mid/upper-level winds could result in strong wind gusts,
    especially from collapsing storms. Hail is also possible with a low
    freezing level and strong shear. Overall, the evolution should be
    rather nebulous as updrafts may struggle to sustain themselves, but
    collapsing storms should help trigger new updrafts. If a storm can
    establish itself, supercellular development is possible.
