Areas affected...western NE into far northeast CO and northwest KS

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 272029Z - 272230Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are expected late
this afternoon into this evening across southwest Nebraska into
northeast Colorado and northwest Kansas.

DISCUSSION...Isolated high-based convection has been periodically
developing near the ND/SD state line. This activity is struggling to
maintain intensity/organization due to weak instability and modest
boundary-layer moisture. This activity will continue to shift
southeast the next couple of hours and may produce some gusty winds.

Additional convection is expected to develop across parts southwest
NE/northeast CO in post-frontal upslope flow along/near residual
outflow from overnight/morning convection. Dewpoints in the low/mid
60s beneath steepening midlevel lapse rates is contributing to
MLCAPE values around 1000-2000 J/kg. Effective shear magnitudes
around 35-40 kt will result in organized cells capable of severe
gusts and hail. A large cumulus field is evident in 2015z visible
satellite data from southwest NE into northeast CO/northwest KS.
However, vertical development has been slow as morning
clouds/showers initially limited heating. Convective inhibition
appears to have mostly eroded, and additional heating should allow
storms to develop in the next 2-3 hours, though timing does remain
somewhat uncertain. Convective trends will be monitored for severe
thunderstorm watch issuance at some point late this afternoon or
early this evening.
