    Areas affected...eastern Colorado and western Kansas into far
    southwest Nebraska.

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

    Valid 021947Z - 022115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected this afternoon with a primary
    threat of severe wind gusts.

    DISCUSSION...A gradient of instability exists across the central
    High Plains with dewpoints in the 40s near the Front Range and in
    the upper 60s across southwest Kansas. SPC mesoanalysis shows a
    weakly unstable, but uncapped environment across southeast Colorado
    where cold air associated with the upper low has started to move
    east of the terrain. As heating continues and temperatures continue
    to cool aloft, expect an uncapped environment across much of eastern
    Colorado and western Kansas. In addition, ascent will increase as
    the trough advances east.=20

    Therefore, expect a gradual increase in convective coverage across
    northeast New Mexico and eastern Colorado this afternoon.
    Eventually, these storms should become more intense as they move
    toward greater instability. Some large hail is possible initially,
    however, severe wind gusts will be preferred. Very steep lapse rates
    will support the potential for some significant severe wind gusts of
    80-90 mph this evening (in western Kansas), particularly where any
    bowing line segments can develop.=20

    A watch will likely be needed later this afternoon for the threat
    from these storms, and storms which will likely move into southwest
    Kansas from watch 353.
