   Areas affected...northeast Colorado

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 344...

   Valid 082144Z - 082245Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 344
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are developing within a moist-upslope
   regime. The overall large-scale environment will support a threat
   for severe thunderstorms, especially for any thunderstorm that can
   move east off the terrain.

   DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms developing within the moist-upslope
   regime across north-central Colorado will continue for the next few
   hours. The overall large-scale environment will maintain mixed-layer
   CAPE around 1000-2000 J/kg and effective deep-layer shear around
   60-knots. Initial updrafts appear to be tied to the underlying
   terrain, which would limit the severe potential as updrafts and
   downdrafts compete with one another. However, current indications
   suggest some potential for at least a couple of thunderstorms to
   move east off the terrain in the next couple of hours as suggested
   by the thunderstorm in northwest Weld County. If this does occur,
   the overall environment will support at least some severe threat for
   any convective updraft that can sustain itself.
