Areas affected...portions of southeast Wyoming into extreme
northeast Colorado...far southwestern South Dakota and the Nebraska
Panhandle

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 102014Z - 102245Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...A couple instances of severe hail/wind may accompany the
stronger storms. A WW issuance is not expected.

DISCUSSION...Convective initiation/intensification is underway
across the Higher Terrain of WY/CO. Ahead of the developing storms,
a well-mixed boundary layer has materialized, characterized by 30 F
surface temperature/dewpoint spreads and 9-10 C/km 0-3 km lapse
rates (per 20Z mesoanalysis). Forecast soundings depict around 500
J/kg of tall/thin MLCAPE, distributed in roughly the 700-300 mb
layer. Given elongated hodographs, storms that can mature in this
environment may produce a couple instances of severe hail/wind.
However, the severe threat should be sparse and a WW issuance is not
anticipated.
