    Areas affected...Eastern Wyoming and adjacent portions of
    Nebraska...South Dakota and far southeast Montana

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 376...

    Valid 222010Z - 222215Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 376
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The threat for large hail is slowly increasing across
    eastern Wyoming and far western Nebraska. This threat will gradually
    spread east/southeast over the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...Latest GOES IR and MRMS data shows steady
    intensification of a trio of supercells near the Sheridan, WY area
    along with more isolated cells near Douglas, WY and near Kimball,
    NE. Across north/northeast WY, low-level moisture is more limited,
    but increasing ascent associated with the left-exit region of the
    300 mb jet aloft continues to overspread the region, aiding in
    mid-level cooling and compensating for the otherwise modest
    moisture. This ascent will continue to promote storm intensification
    through early evening as cells spread east/southeast. Recent
    forecast guidance and SARS estimate hail sizes hint that hail sizes
    will most likely reach into the 1-2 inch range over the next couple
    of hours.=20

    Further south, storms in east-central WY to far western NE continue
    to propagate into a plume of richer low-level moisture (dewpoints in
    the low to mid 50s) where a regional SBCAPE maximum is noted (near
    2000 J/kg). Continued low-level moisture advection coupled with
    increasing mid-level flow attendant to the upstream mid-level wave
    should further augment the convective environment over the next few
    hours. By the 22-00 UTC period, the highest SHIP values should
    reside from eastern WY into western NE, suggesting that the greatest
    potential for 2-3 inch hail may manifest across this region.
