    Mesoscale Discussion 2005

    Areas affected...the Front Range and vicinity

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

    Valid 221949Z - 222145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...An increase in storm coverage is forecast after about 21Z,
    with storms moving east/southeast off the higher terrain. Localized
    marginal hail or strong gusts may occur.

    DISCUSSION...Destabilization continues this afternoon in a
    post-frontal regime with areas of heating. North to northeast
    surface winds have brought mid to upper 50s F dewpoints into the
    area, resulting in 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE. Visible satellite imagery
    shows CU fields developing, though partially obscured by mid and
    high level clouds. These clouds are associated with a minor
    disturbance rounding the upper ridge, suggesting some degree of
    ascent aloft.

    As convection over the higher terrain grows later this afternoon,
    modest northwest flow aloft and peak heating should allow for a few
    cells to persist into the plains. Temperatures aloft are not
    particularly cool, nor is shear very strong. As such, marginal hail
    is possible. An eventual aggregation of storms/outflows may develop
    closer to 00Z, with perhaps locally strong to severe gusts. Overall
    coverage and intensity of severe is not expected to necessitate a
    watch.
