Areas affected...Western Kansas into southwest Nebraska

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 241905Z - 242100Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated severe wind gusts will be possible as
thunderstorms develop this afternoon. Limited coverage should
preclude watch issuance.

DISCUSSION...Despite limited moisture, cumulus have been deepening
along the surface trough in far eastern Colorado and northwest
Kansas/southwest Nebraska. Temperatures are in the upper 80s to low
90s F. When modifying the 18Z observed LBF sounding for these
conditions, MLCIN is minimal. It is likely to take some time before thunderstorms can develop/intensify as greater moisture/buoyancy
exists to the east of the current convection. Higher
temperature/dewpoint spreads suggests severe wind gusts will be the
primary hazard this afternoon. Greater confidence in storm
development exists from northwest Kansas into southwest Nebraska as moisture/shear are greater here.
