Areas affected...Eastern CO to the northern TX Panhandle

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 369...

Valid 142322Z - 150115Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 369
continues.

SUMMARY...Convection should increase across southeast CO into
southwest KS over the next few hours. New watch is possible
downstream later this evening.

DISCUSSION...Scattered convection continues to gradually organize
just east of the higher terrain, especially from El Paso County to
Pueblo County CO. Visible satellite imagery supports this with
expanding anvils and fresh updrafts. Over the next few hours this
activity should migrate across southeastern CO, within an upslope
flow regime, where more moist/buoyant air mass currently resides
(MLCAPE 3000-4000 J/kg). Additionally, this region has significantly
steeper lapse rates which should support more robust updrafts. With
time, multiple thunderstorm clusters should emerge with a
potentially larger complex expected to propagate across southwestern
KS after sunset.
