    Mesoscale Discussion 2016
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0313 PM CDT Wed Aug 27 2025

    Areas affected...Parts of eastern CO into western KS and a small
    part of the NE Panhandle

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

    Valid 272013Z - 272215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong to locally severe storms are possible later this
    afternoon into this evening.

    DISCUSSION...Clearing in the wake of earlier mid/high-level
    cloudiness has allowed for modest diurnal heating from eastern CO
    into west-central/southwest KS. Temperatures aloft are relatively
    warm, but boundary-layer warming and sufficient low-level moisture
    are supporting MLCAPE of near/above 1000 J/kg, with locally greater
    values across southwest KS. Weak storms have already developed near
    the CO Front Range, with building cumulus noted in the vicinity of
    multiple surface confluence zones across northeast CO, east-central
    CO, and southeast CO into southwest KS.=20

    Westerly midlevel flow is relatively modest (generally 20-25 kt),
    but sufficient veering in the wind profile is supporting effective
    shear of 25-30 kt. With time, a few organized multicells and perhaps
    a marginal supercell or two could evolve as developing convection
    deepens and matures through late afternoon. The strongest cells
    could produce isolated hail, though generally weak midlevel lapse
    rates will tend to limit the magnitude of the hail threat. Outflow
    amalgamation could result in loosely organized upscale growth by
    early evening, with a threat for strong to locally severe gusts.
