   Areas affected...portions of southeast Wyoming into northeast
   Colorado and the Nebraska Panhandle

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 419...

   Valid 292212Z - 292345Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 419 continues.

   SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 419. Very
   large hail remains a concerns and an isolated tornado is still
   possible over the next few hours. Storms may eventually congeal into
   one or more MCSs with a severe wind threat later this evening.

   DISCUSSION...Multiple multicellular clusters and supercells continue
   to progress eastward across eastern WY and the Denver Metropolitan
   area, with a history of severe hail. MRMS mosaic radar imagery shows
   these storms continuing to build in intensity, with 50 dBZ echoes
   approaching 40 kft with some of the supercell structures. 8+ C/km
   surface-500 mb lapse rates atop mid 50s F surface dewpoints are
   contributing to 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE ahead of the ongoing storms, where
   RAP forecast soundings also show elongated hodographs and 50+ kts of
   effective bulk shear. As such, the stronger multicells and
   supercells should continue to pose a large hail threat, with 2+ inch
   diameter stones possible with the stronger, longer-lived supercells.
   Low-level shear is relatively weak across the central High Plains,
   with ongoing supercells showing outflow tendencies. However, a
   tornado or two still cannot be ruled out, especially over southeast
   Wyoming. Here, enhanced upslope flow and relatively higher 0-3 km
   CAPE may enhance tilting/stretching potential if a storm can become
   inflow-dominant.

   Nonetheless, storm outflows should support multicellular mergers
   later this evening, especially in/near the Nebraska Panhandle.
   Should this occur, severe gusts could become more prevalent.
