Mesoscale Discussion 1979
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0353 PM CDT Fri Aug 23 2024

Areas affected...Portions of southern/eastern Utah into far western
Colorado

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 232053Z - 232300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Scattered storms, some capable of severe winds and large
hail, will occur this afternoon. A watch is not currently
anticipated.

DISCUSSION...Early cloud cover within the Colorado Plateau has kept
temperatures in the mid/upper 70s F thus far. Even so, colder air
aloft has promoted around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE in southeastern Utah.
Convection has shown signs of deepening on MRMS CAPPI imagery. Some
further intensification of this activity is possible as temperatures
will still rise this afternoon. Moderate mid-level flow on the
eastern flank of the upper low will foster 45-50 kts of effective
shear and at least marginal supercell structures. Storms will be
capable of severe wind gusts and possibly large hail.
