Large hail and damaging winds are likely, with tornadoes also possible across far northern CO into southeast WY. A WW issuance will be needed soon to address the impending threat. DISCUSSION...An upper trough continues to progress toward the central Rockies, triggering a low-level mass response in the form of strong moisture advection with upslope flow. Up to 8 C/km low and mid-level lapse rates accompanies/overspreads anomalously rich low-level moisture (characterized by 70 F surface dewpoints per latest observations), contributing up to 3000 J/kg MLCAPE. As inhibition continues to erode, and the boundary layer deepens, convective initiation should occur to the immediate lee of the Rockies within the next few hours. Veering/strengthening flow with height supports modestly curved low/mid-level hodographs, which may favor supercells and multicell complexes early this afternoon. Large hail (some 2+ inches in diameter) and severe gusts may occur with any of the more mature storms that develop. In addition, locally stronger low-level shear will support some tornado potential across far northern CO, northwestward into WY. Tornado potential will be highest wherever storms can remain discrete the longest. A WW issuance will be needed soon. ...Squitieri/Hart.. 06/21/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4_upSIleH8miCxZ-tUYLVs1fByn15bALzzVrvMdxfJ7CwMTlKgo-3mmVeLg6Xh4GvBdDkg5Bq= MZ5VYGiGhQG8IIfyTE$ for graphic product...
