Isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding are possible. Discussion...Thunderstorms are rapidly proliferating across the Central High Plains this afternoon, in the vicinity of a broad southwest-to-northeast frontal zone and near the base of an associated upper-level trough. The mesoscale environment is otherwise characterized by plentiful instability (SBCAPE 1000-4000 J/kg), anomalously high tropospheric moisture content (0.9-1.7" PWs, near the max moving average per LBF sounding climatology), and effective bulk shear of 20-35 kts. Storms will continue to proliferate this afternoon with stronger cores capable of 1-2"/hr (or locally even higher) totals, per recent MRMS estimates in the Pueblo area. So far hi-res CAMs have done a poor job anticipating and handling the ongoing convection (including with the placement of initial cells, which has generally been farther south than modeled), but even so the 18z HREF indicates the potential for localized 2"+ amounts (per 40-km neighborhood probabilities for 2" exceedance of 20-60%, highest over portions of NE). Storms over southeast CO are likely to decrease in coverage abruptly this evening (less shear for storm longevity), while activity is more likely to persist and grow upscale over NE and eventually propagate north and east into the Central Plains (likely requiring additional MPDs later tonight). Isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding are possible.=20 Churchill ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov__;!!= DZ3fjg!-Ab2becOICrseDOGzuIFlOOFmQ454Q1kImXQ0WGEof7aQOW4z_IDjVEgqz0K-gZD4aLe= I52p1ApYoQtJjWjcSVRHOg4$ for graphic product...
