    Mesoscale Discussion 1536

    0443 PM CDT Tue Jul 01 2025

    Areas affected...portions of far eastern Wyoming...western South
    Dakota and Nebraska...into far northeast Colorado

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 012143Z - 012315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Initial thunderstorms across parts of the High Plains
    should continue to intensify this afternoon/evening. Damaging gusts
    and hail are possible.

    DISCUSSION...As of 2140 UTC, regional radar and visible imagery
    showed thunderstorm development was underway from eastern WY, into
    northern CO and western NE/SD. Weak ascent from a subtle shortwave
    trough and strong diurnal heating will continue to support storm
    development through this afternoon into this evening. Initial storms
    will likely be high-based as deep mixing has reduced dewpoints into
    the upper 40s in spots. With time, storms should gradually move east/southeastward into more moist/unstable conditions. 1500-2000
    J/kg of MLCAPE and mid-level lapse rates near 8 C/km will be more
    than sufficient to support strong updrafts. Deep-layer shear, while
    not overly strong (25-35 kt) will favor supercells and organized
    multi cells capable of hail (some potential near 2 inches in
    diameter) given the steep lapse rates and buoyancy. Damaging winds
    are also likely within the deeper-mixed boundary layer.

    Observational trends and CAM guidance suggests storms will continue
    to mature along and south of the Black Hills into western NE this
    evening. The severe threat should increase as convection develops
    and spreads east/southeastward. Some clustering is possible with
    time, though subtle forcing for ascent suggests lower storm coverage
    is perhaps more likely. Given the increasing severe risk, conditions
    are being monitored for a possible weather watch.
