    Mesoscale Discussion 2310

    Areas affected...Northeast/East-Central CO

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 191943Z - 192215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail and strong gusts are possible across northeast/north-central Colorado this afternoon. A Severe
    Thunderstorm Watch may be needed at some point later this afternoon
    when a convective line forms.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm intensity over the immediate foothills of
    the Colorado Front Range (i.e. Arapahoe and Elbert counties) has
    increase quickly during the past half hour. This activity appears to
    be associated with modest glancing large-scale ascent attendant to a
    vorticity max moving through southeast WY. The downstream airmass is
    moist and moderately unstable, and the general expectation is for
    this initial activity to grow upscale into a coherent convective
    line over time.

    Severe potential should remain isolated initially, with large hail
    as the primary risk. Once the line segment materializes, the primary
    threat will shift to wind gusts, with several strong to severe gusts
    (i.e. 60 to 75 mph) possible. It may take some time for the upscale
    growth to occur, but trends are being monitored closely, and a
    Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed when this line forms.
