   Areas affected...Northeast Colorado...northwest KS...and southwest
   Nebraska

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 489...490...

   Valid 062303Z - 070030Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 489, 490
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A focused/favorable corridor for large hail and severe
   wind gusts is evident over the central High Plains for the next few
   hours -- within Severe Thunderstorm Watches 489/490.

   DISCUSSION...An intense, nearly stationary supercell has evolved out
   of a cluster of storms over far northeastern CO. Farther west, a
   separate cluster of storms is showing signs of upscale growth. To
   the southeast of this activity, a gradually stalling outflow
   boundary is arcing northwestward from northwest KS into northeastern
   CO. This outflow boundary may provide a focused mesoscale corridor
   for the maintenance of the supercell (and additional nearby
   convection) with southeastward extent into this evening. Along this
   corridor, around 40 kt of effective shear (locally boosted/enhanced
   along the boundary) and moderate surface-based instability will
   favor large to very large hail (some 2+ inches in diameter) and
   severe wind gusts with any established supercells/clusters. Some
   upscale growth may also occur with time, as the western cluster may
   have a tendency of merging with the downstream storms/supercells --
   posing an increasing risk of severe-wind gusts into this evening.
