   Areas affected...Portions of the Central High Plains

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 242059Z - 242300Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorms capable of isolated damaging winds are
   possible this afternoon and evening over the Central High Plains.

   DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have developed over the high terrain in
   an environment characterized by large surface T/Td spreads,
   deeply-mixed inverted-v boundary layer profiles, and 25-30 kts of
   deep-layer shear in the southern portion of the MD area, increasing
   to 40-45 kts further north in the Black Hills. 

   These storms are expected to continue eastward into the High Plains,
   where buoyancy increases slightly with eastward extent. Given the
   dry environment and weak vertical shear, a few damaging wind gusts
   from dry downdrafts are possible with ongoing convection, and
   additional development may be possible with interacting thunderstorm
   outflows. 

   Further north in the Black Hills, convective development is less
   certain, but better combinations of buoyancy and shear indicate
   potential for an isolated hail and damaging wind threat if a storm
   develops out of the current cu field. 

   Watch issuance is not likely at this time, but convective trends
   will continue to be monitored.
