[html]MD 1343 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR NE PANHANDLE AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF FAR SOUTHEAST WY/NORTHEAST CO
Mesoscale Discussion 1343
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0322 PM CDT Sun Jul 03 2022
Areas affected...NE Panhandle and adjacent portions of far southeast
WY/northeast CO
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 032022Z - 032215Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...High-based storms capable of locally severe wind gusts are
possible later this afternoon into the evening. Severe thunderstorm
watch issuance is possible.
DISCUSSION...High-based convection is gradually increasing this
afternoon across extreme southeast WY, with increasing cumulus noted
across the western NE Panhandle. Despite generally limited low-level
moisture, strong heating is supporting MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg
across the region, with minimal MLCINH. As storm coverage increases
with time this afternoon, steep low-level lapse rates will support a
threat of severe wind gusts, though effective shear of 20-25 kt will
likely tend to limit storm organization. The marginal shear
environment makes the need for a watch uncertain, but severe
thunderstorm watch issuance will be considered if any semi-organized
storm clustering appears imminent.
