[html]MD 1966 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO

Mesoscale Discussion 1966
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0839 PM CDT Tue Aug 20 2024
Areas affected...Southeastern Colorado
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 210139Z - 210315Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms capable of damaging winds are ongoing
across portions of southeastern Colorado.
DISCUSSION...Deep boundary-layer mixing across southeastern Colorado
has resulted in steep low-level lapse rates that support severe
outflow winds. A surging downdraft has been observed north of the
KPUX radar site, with 60-70 MPH winds 500 ft above radar level.
Other convective cells in the Marginal Risk area will be capable of
similar outflow surges over the next 1-2 hours, with some potential
for additional local enhancement of outflow winds where outflows
merge. This activity should gradually die off in the absence of
solar heating and in the presence of a stabilizing nocturnal
boundary layer.
