AREAS AFFECTED...E CO...SW NEB...WC/NW KS

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 891...

VALID 080444Z - 080615Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 891
CONTINUES.

DEEPENING LARGE SCALE ASCENT ASSOCD WITH THE GLANCING INFLUENCE OF A
MID-LVL WAVE IN COMBINATION WITH MOIST ELY UPSLOPE FLOW WERE
SUFFICIENT TO INITIATE TSTMS ALONG BOTH A FRONTAL SURGE IN NE CO AND
JUST NE OF A 1009 MB LEE LOW OVER SE CO. STRONG DIRECTIONAL SHEAR
AND INCREASING FLOW IN THE MID/HIGH-LVLS HAS BOOSTED EFFECTIVE SHEAR
SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELL STRUCTURES...ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE NRN TSTM
CLUSTER VCNTY KAKO.

H5-H25 JET OVER THE MO VLY WILL INTENSIFY DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS
DOWNSTREAM FROM THE APCHG TROUGH WITH A CONCOMITANT ENHANCEMENT OF
H85-H7 FRONTOGENETIC FORCING ACROSS PRIMARILY WC-NW KS. AS A
RESULT...TSTMS WILL MOVE/DEVELOP GENERALLY ENEWD ACROSS YUMA AND KIT
CARSON COUNTIES IN CO AND INTO KGLD-KHLC REGIONS THROUGH EARLY
MONDAY MORNING.

PRIMARY SVR THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLFBALLS
GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF MID-LVL LAPSE RATES AND EFFECTIVE SHEAR
EXPECTED. HOWEVER...A DMGG WIND GUST OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED
OUT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS E CO AND FAR NW KS.

INCREASING NLY COMPONENT TO THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS ACROSS THE
FRONT RANGE/ADJACENT HIGH PLNS OF CO BEHIND THE FRONTAL SURGE WILL
DECREASE THE THREAT FOR REDEVELOPING STORMS FROM KGXY TO ERN METRO
DENVER.
