MD 2055 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR NORTHEAST COLORADO INTO NEBRASKA PANHANDLE
Mesoscale Discussion 2055

0549 PM CDT Tue Sep 09 2025
Areas affected...Northeast Colorado into Nebraska Panhandle
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 092249Z - 100015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated severe gusts and perhaps marginal hail may occur
late this afternoon and early evening.
DISCUSSION...A few storms have slowly intensified in northeast
Colorado and the Nebraska Panhandle as they move east into greater
low-level moisture. This is primarily in response to a weak
shortwave trough moving through the upper-level ridge in the High
Plains. Effective shear of 30-40 kts (stronger to the east) will
support isolated, marginally organized convection. The overall lack
of moisture and large-scale lift will limit storm intensity.
Increasing MLCIN--evident on the 18Z observed LBF sounding--to the
east should also keep the spatial extent of the stronger activity
limited. The well-mixed boundary layer could promote isolated severe
winds. Storms that can maintain a discrete mode could produce
marginally severe hail as well. Overall, activity should begin to
gradually diminish by sunset as CIN increases further.
