    Mesoscale Discussion 1280

    0456 PM CDT Tue Jun 23 2026

    Areas affected...portions of central and southern Wyoming

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 232156Z - 232300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A few instances of severe gusts or hail may accompany the
    stronger storms over the next few hours. A WW issuance is not
    anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery and NLDN lightning data
    depict thunderstorms increasing in both coverage and intensity
    across portions of the Great Divide Basin. In this area, a deep and
    dry boundary layer is in place, as evidenced by 50 F T/Td spreads.
    21Z mesoanalysis depicts ample evaporative cooling potential (e.g.
    1500+ J/kg DCAPE) amid modest flow aloft, contributing to 30+ kts of
    effective bulk shear. High-based multicells and transient supercells
    will be the main modes of convection, with severe gusts possible. An
    instance or two of severe hail could also occur with the strongest
    storm cores. Nonetheless, the severe threat should remain relatively
    isolated, so a WW issuance is not expected.
