Areas affected...Front Range into far western Kansas

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

Valid 292019Z - 292215Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Severe wind gusts are possible into the early evening. A
watch is not expected given limited coverage of severe activity.

DISCUSSION...In the wake of an MCV in northeast Colorado, forcing
for ascent from a shortwave trough pivoting through the eastern
Great Basin has promoted thunderstorms development along parts of
the Front Range into southeast Colorado. These storms have been able
to move off the terrain into the eastern Plains. Outflow production
with these storms is evident. VAD data from KFTG and KPUX show weak
deep-layer shear (around 20 kt). A very well-mixed boundary layer
exists in much of eastern Colorado. Severe gusts will likely be the
primary risk with storms that develop this afternoon. Greater
surface moisture does exist in western Kansas. Some intensification
would be possible if storms can ingest more buoyant air. While large
hail is possible with a discrete storm within the greater moisture,
storm mode by that point may not be very favorable. A brief tornado
could also occur given the presence of the MVC and DCVZ.
