***New thread started for ongoing convection***
SPC has issued an MD for Northeast Colorado and adjacent areas in Wyoming, Kansas, and Nebraska. Main concern is hail and high winds, but MD mentions a possible tornado. Would imagine a SEVERE watch to go up, however, wouldn't be surprised to see it be a TORNADO watch.
Things are looking pretty decent for storms to get going in the foothills; as they move east, they'll encounter higher amounts of CAPE and shear, so would imagine the seeds being dropped over the mountains for storms to fire and move into the better enviornment. Wouldn't be surprised to see severe to tornatic storms going up along I-76, moving eastward out of thr urban corridor.
One storm firing east of Denver now, more in the NOW thread. Other storms should begin to kick off within the next hour or two as the atmosphere continues to destablize. Temps in the upper 70s with dewpoints in the 50s make this a pretty good mid-summer setup in the middle days of September.
***EDIT*** While typing this, SEVERE WATCH went up for NE Colorado and areas.. guess the tornado watch was a wishful thought! :wink:
