   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 262...

   Valid 062314Z - 070115Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 262
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Storms with a history of damaging winds including
   significant severe winds are moving northeast across central/eastern
   Colorado. These storms will remain in the watch as they track
   northeastward for the next couple of hours.

   DISCUSSION...A broken line of storms is moving at 45-55 knots east
   of the Front Range stretching from CYS to PUB. These storms have a
   history of severe wind including multiple measured gusts exceeding
   70 knots. Deep layer flow of 50-60 knots and a dry sub cloud layer
   with dewpoint depressions of 50-60 F over the Colorado High Plains
   will be conducive for damaging winds gusts reaching the surface.
   Marginally severe hail is also possible with these storms. The
   storms will continue in the watch with the northern half of the
   watch likely being more active for the next couple of hours. The
   storms are likely to move out of the watch to the east in the next
   couple of hours, but a new watch is currently not anticipated.
   Additionally, given the high-based storms and strong winds/low RH at
   the surface, wetting rains will be limited, and there is concern for
   lightning ignitions and fire spread.
