AREAS AFFECTED...ERN WY...FAR WRN SD...FAR WRN NEB...FAR NERN
CO...FAR SERN MT

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 251924Z - 252100Z

THE THREAT FOR SVR STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DMGG WINDS IS
INCREASING...AND THE ISSUANCE OF A SVR TSTM WATCH IS POSSIBLE.

CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES OVER THE MEDICINE BOW MOUNTAINS...AND
MORE RECENTLY THE LARAMIE MOUNTAINS...OF SRN WY...IN RESPONSE TO
OROGRAPHIC INFLUENCES AND STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES DRIVEN BY
STRONG HEATING OVER HIGHER TERRAIN. ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO THIS
DEVELOPMENT...A PLUME OF STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES OVERLAYS THIS
REGION...WITH THE DENVER 12Z SOUNDING INDICATING A 700-500-MB LAPSE
RATE OF 8.2 C/KM. DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS...CONTINUED INSOLATION
SUPPORTING FURTHER STEEPENING OF LOW-TO-MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL
FOSTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADDITIONAL...AND DEEPENING OF
EXISTING...CONVECTION OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF ERN WY AND FAR NERN CO.
ONCE WLY/W-SWLY STEERING-LAYER FLOW SHIFTS CONVECTION OVER THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS WHERE GREATER BOUNDARY-LAYER MOISTURE AND POTENTIAL
INSTABILITY ARE PRESENT...THE OVERALL SVR THREAT COULD INCREASE.
LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE...WITH LARGE TEMPERATURE-DEWPOINT
DEPRESSIONS AOA 20F SUPPORTING SVR WIND GUSTS. THIS ACTIVITY MAY
ALSO BE ENHANCED ALONG A WEAK SFC BAROCLINIC ZONE CURRENTLY
EXTENDING FROM SERN MT INTO CNTRL WY...WHICH COINCIDES WITH A REGION
OF RELATIVELY RICHER LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE.
