AREAS AFFECTED...CENTRAL/EASTERN COLORADO...NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 312030Z - 312230Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...MARGINAL RISK FOR DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL THIS AFTERNOON.
DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN IN
CENTRAL AND EASTERN COLORADO INTO NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO.
INSTABILITY IS MODEST, BUT STEEP LOW TO MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND
SUFFICIENT DEEP LAYER SHEAR SHOULD SUPPORT SOME POTENTIAL FOR A FEW
ORGANIZED STORMS. DEEPLY MIXED PROFILES, INVERTED-V PROFILES, AND
STEEP LOW TO MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL SUPPORT OUTFLOW DOMINATE
STORMS WITH POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND. A FEW INSTANCES OF SEVERE
HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. GENERALLY, THIS THREAT IS EXPECTED TO BE
ISOLATED AND A WATCH IS UNLIKELY TO BE NEEDED.
