    Areas affected...eastern Colorado...portions of western Kansas

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

    Valid 061839Z - 062015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Supercells capable of large to very large hail, damaging
    wind, and a couple of tornadoes likely later this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite shows deepening cu along the Front
    Range in Colorado over the last hour, with a few lightning flashes
    near the Denver metro. CAM guidance suggests additional thunderstorm development is likely across the Front Range into eastern Colorado
    over the next 1-2 hours. Some MLCIN remains across portions of
    southeastern Colorado but warming temperatures have climbed into the
    70s, nearing convective temperature in morning forecast soundings.

    The profiles within this region are characterized by linear and
    elongated hodographs, with strong deep layer shear around 45-55 kts
    (strongest across southeastern Colorado. While moisture is modest,
    with MLCAPE around 500 J/kg, strong deep layer shear should aid in
    organized supercells capable of large to very large hail. Given the
    linear hodograph profiles, splitting supercells will favored.
    Low-level shear is marginal (0-1 SRH around 50-100 m2/s2) but storm interactions and interactions with terrain may lead to locally
    increased SRH and potential for a tornado or two. Clustering cells
    may lead to an increasing damaging wind threat as the
    afternoon/evening progresses. A Tornado Watch will likely be needed
    in the next hour to cover these threats.
