CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL 

VALID 240009Z - 240145Z

TSTMS WITH HAIL MAY INCREASE FROM THE FRONT RANGE ENEWD ACROSS NERN
CO THIS EVENING.

STRONG FRONTAL SURGE AND DEEPENING UPSLOPE FLOW WILL COMBINE WITH
POST FRONTAL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO FUEL A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. INITIATION ON THE FRONT RANGE HAS
BEGUN WITH HAIL RECENTLY REPORTED IN THE DENVER AREA. GIVEN
STRENGTHENING LARGE SCALE ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACH OF
FOUR CORNERS SHORT WAVE TROUGH...AND PRESENCE OF DEVELOPING LEE-SIDE
CYCLONE AND SURFACE FRONT EXTENDING EWD INTO NWRN KS...FEATURES
APPEAR IN PLACE TO SUPPORT ADDITIONAL TSTM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE
REGION. STRONG DIRECTIONAL AND SPEED SHEAR WITHIN THE CLOUD-BEARING
LAYER WILL FURTHER PROMOTE STORM INTENSITY WITH HAIL APPEARING TO BE
THE PRIMARY THREAT. AREA WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED FOR
INCREASING STORM COVERAGE BUT A WATCH DOES NOT APPEAR IMMINENT.
