AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF EXTREME SOUTHEAST COLORADO INTO WESTERN
KANSAS
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 367...
VALID 220018Z - 220145Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 367
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SEVERE WIND AND HAIL REMAIN LIKELY WITH AN ONGOING LINE OF
STORMS, PARTICULARLY WITH EMBEDDED SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. A TORNADO
REMAINS POSSIBLE, AND AN ORGANIZED MCS WIND SWATH COULD DEVELOP.
DISCUSSION...SUPERCELL STRUCTURES HAVE GRADUALLY MERGED INTO AN MCS
OVER THE PAST HOUR. DESPITE A LINEAR APPEARANCE TO THE BROADER
REGION OF STORMS, THE MCS IS FLANKED TO THE EAST BY A DOMINANT
SUPERCELL WITH A PREVALENT MESOCYCLONE. A WET REAR-FLANK DOWNDRAFT
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SUPERCELL APPEARS TO BE MERGING WITH ANOTHER
EMBEDDED COLD POOL SURGE TO THE SOUTHWEST, WHICH SUGGESTS THAT A
SMALLER SCALE BUT ORGANIZED SWATH OF SEVERE (50+ KT) GUSTS MAY BE
DEVELOPING. UNTIL THEN, THE STRONGER STORM CORES WITH EMBEDDED
SUPERCELLS MAY SUPPORT SEVERE HAIL, AND A TORNADO REMAINS POSSIBLE
WITH ANY LONGER-LASTING MESOCYCLONE. THE MCS IS PRECEDED BY
3000-4000 J/KG MLCAPE AND 50-60 KTS OF EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR,
SUGGESTING THAT THE SEVERE THREAT MAY LAST FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS.
IF A PROMINENT BOW ECHO CAN DEVELOP, GUSTS OVER 75 MPH WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE.
