   Areas affected...NE Panhandle

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 614...

   Valid 232332Z - 240030Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 614
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The potential for severe gusts (60-70mph) is increasing as
   storms grow upscale into a squall line near the WY/NE border and
   move east into the NE Panhandle this evening.

   DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows an intensifying band of storms over
   far southeastern WY.  RAP forecast soundings show 700-500mb lapse
   rates approaching 9 degrees C/km atop a moisture-rich boundary layer
   with low-middle 60s surface dewpoints in the NE Panhandle.  Despite
   the relatively weak flow in the troposphere, strong veering of the
   wind profile is at least resulting in deep-layer shear supportive
   for multicell organization in the form of a squall line.  The
   primary hazard will be severe gusts in the 60-70mph range.
