Areas affected...portions of far southeast Colorado into far
southwestern Kansas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 162147Z - 162315Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...A few instances of severe hail may accompany the stronger
storms that can mature, and a severe gust also cannot be ruled out.

DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have been increasing in intensity across southeastern CO into southwestern KS over the past 1-2 hours, with
50+ dBZ cores occasionally exceeding 30 kft per MRMS mosaic radar
imagery. These storms are developing amid a steep mid-level lapse
rate environment (e.g. 8 C/km), yielding 1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE.
Despite favorable buoyancy, vertical wind shear is relatively poor,
and forcing for ascent should remain weak as well, which should
limit the overall severe threat. Nonetheless, given steep mid-level
lapse rates, any storm that can mature and achieve at least
transient supercell structure may produce isolated instances of
severe hail and perhaps a severe gust or two.
