A watch will be needed for parts of the area within the hour. DISCUSSION...Deepening boundary-layer cumulus is evident in the vicinity of the Black Hills as well as far northeast CO into the NE Panhandle this afternoon -- generally focused along a lee trough/surface wind shift. During the next couple hours, the lee trough will deepen as midlevel westerly flow strengthens across the northern and central Rockies. This will support a gradual increase in thunderstorm development over the next few hours, given diurnal heating of a moist air mass (upper 50s to middle/upper 60s dewpoints) and removal of MLCINH along the lee trough.=20 Storms should generally track eastward into the increasingly rich moisture, where steep midlevel lapse rates are yielding moderate surface-based instability. The 19Z UNR special sounding showed around 30 kt of effective shear, characterized by a long/mostly straight hodograph, and deep-layer shear should strengthen to around 40-50 kt with time. As a result, storms should organize into semi-discrete supercells and organized clusters, with a risk of very large hail (potentially up to 3 inches) and severe gusts.=20 A watch issuance is likely for parts of the area within the hour. ...Weinman/Hart.. 06/27/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6dIocms3FRA7akq4usdUjq4aJKFO744B_z14R9oU2VfVcGk9IH6YSFdwrLV83DFcwqzfAKcBh= eq1UdPc5q1Up9jk79w$ for graphic product...
