Areas affected...eastern Colorado

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 587...

Valid 162150Z - 162345Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 587
continues.

SUMMARY...Large hail and damaging wind threat continues within
WW587.

DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms south of the Denver Metro has
produced severe gusts up to 62 mph. Mode remains fairly mixed, with
multi-cell clusters and supercells ongoing across portions of
eastern Colorado. The environment remains moderately unstable with
around 30-35 kts of deep layer shear. Severe potential will likely
increase with movement eastward into more available 60 F degree dew
points. Supercells with large hail potential will continue over the
next couple of hours before eventual transition to one or more
linear clusters. An increase in the damaging wind threat is expected
eastward into the lower Plains by the evening.
