DISCUSSION...A surface low has been in the process of developing to the east of Pueblo, where sustained 2-4 mb 2-hourly surface pressure falls have been occurring. While insolation and downslope flow have contributed to a deepening well-mixed boundary layer around La Junta, an upslope component into the southern slopes of the Palmer Divide is maintaining boundary-layer moisture. This appears to be contributing to mixed-layer CAPE in excess of 2000 J/kg. Latest objective analysis suggests that mid-level inhibition is becoming increasingly negligible where stronger low-level convergence is focused, roughly north of Lamar into the Limon vicinity. Pronounced veering of winds with height, beneath 30-50+ kt flow in the 500-300 mb layer across this region, is contributing to strong deep-layer shear supportive of supercells if and when thunderstorm development initiates. This appears possible as early as 00-02Z, and stronger convection may be accompanied by a risk for large, damaging hail, and potential for tornadoes as a southerly low-level jet strengthens further across southeastern Colorado. ...Kerr/Guyer.. 07/06/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_k2tuG8CYOM1FQR0ax3Oxvd_1fLk6Zbu7-VuNlNCiP91dAuPfNxKFI1Ig7_gAk_bz-vW-IVjd= C0Lgc94ICywUK20T1Q$ for graphic product...
