   Areas affected...Southeast Wyoming...southwest Nebraska
   Panhandle...eastern Colorado

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 306...

   Valid 262151Z - 262315Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 306
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Damaging winds, large hail, and a tornado or two are
   possible for the next 1 to 2 hours. The primary threat will be
   damaging wind by later this evening.

   DISCUSSION...Numerous thunderstorms have developed over the Rockies
   this afternoon. Two stronger supercells have moved off of the higher
   terrain near Cheyenne and south of Denver. The KFTG VWP continues to
   show 45 knot winds around 6 km and weak, deep low-level easterly
   upslope flow. Therefore, effective shear is around 55 knots and will
   continue to support storm organization/rotation with these storms
   and any additional storms as they develop. Eventually, storms are
   expected to merge into a cluster by later this evening and the
   primary threat will be damaging winds. 

   The KFTG VWP shows significant low-level turning with 0-1 SRH around
   125 m2/s2 and 0-3 km SRH around 300 m2/s2. This will promote some
   low-level mesocyclone organization and possibly a tornado or two.
   However, limited moisture and weak flow in the lowest 3 km should
   limit the overall tornado threat.
