AREAS AFFECTED...EASTERN COLORADO/WYOMING INTO WESTERN KANSAS
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 584...
VALID 152308Z - 160115Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 584
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES WITHIN WW584.
DISCUSSION...SEVERAL CLUSTERS OF STORMS AND A FEW MORE ISOLATED
SUPERCELLS CONTINUE WITHIN WW584. A SUPERCELL NEAR DENVER HAD
REPORTS OF 64 MPH WINDS AND HAIL UP TO 1.75 INCHES IN DIAMETER.
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE WITH
SUPERCELLS THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING, GIVEN MODERATE INSTABILITY AND
35-45 KTS OF EFFECTIVE SHEAR. WITH CELL INTERACTIONS, MODE IS
GRADUALLY SHIFTING TO BECOME MORE CLUSTERED/MULTI-CELL THIS EVENING.
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT ONE OR MORE CLUSTERS MAY EVOLVE EASTWARD INTO
WESTERN KANSAS THROUGH THE EVENING.
DOWNSTREAM ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS, STEEP LOW TO MID-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES, TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S TO LOW 90S F, AND DEW POINTS IN
THE UPPER 60S TO 70S ARE SUPPORTING MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY,
THOUGH LINGERING INHIBITION REMAINS. SHOULD A CLUSTER BE ABLE TO
ORGANIZE ALONG A COLD POOL AND SHIFT EASTWARD, DAMAGING WIND
POTENTIAL MAY INCREASE INTO THE EVENING. A DOWNSTREAM WATCH WILL
PROBABLY BE NEEDED INTO WESTERN KANSAS LATER THIS EVENING.
