    Areas affected...portions of northeastern Colorado...southeastern
    Wyoming...and far western Nebraska

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 262013Z - 262115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...A few thunderstorms with large hail and severe gusts are
    possible this afternoon across portions of northeastern Colorado,
    southeastern Wyoming, and far western Nebraska. A watch may be
    needed to cover this threat.

    DISCUSSION...A large upper trough is in place across the
    northwestern CONUS with a subtle jet pushing eastward over the
    central Rockies this afternoon. Storms are preferentially developing
    along a couple convergence boundaries across portions of the High
    Plains. The flow enhancement from the jet results in lengthened
    hodographs, which should result in enough shear for at least a few
    supercells.

    With any supercells that do form, a few instances of large hail are
    possible due to the straight hodographs and relatively low freezing
    levels. Storms may cluster as the afternoon progresses, which may
    result in a threat for severe gusts due to the dry boundary layer
    and modest low- and mid-level flow. One limiting factor for wind is
    some residual inhibition across parts of the High Plains, though
    this is expected to erode with continued strong heating. A watch
    will likely be needed to cover this threat.
