A watch is not anticipated. DISCUSSION...Recent radar loop shows an isolated supercell thunderstorm over northeast Morgan County CO, with other cu/tcu attempting to develop along a weak DCVZ extending eastward from southern Denver across Arapahoe County. Other high-based storms are organizing southward along the foothills into the Colorado Springs area. All of this activity will drift slowly southeastward through mid-evening into a relatively moist and moderately unstable air mass. Forecast soundings show MLCAPE values of 1000-1500 J/kg and sufficient deep-layer shear for organization and continued transient supercell structures. While there is some risk of locally gusty winds, the main concern will be occasionally severe hail in the stronger cells before storms weaken an hour or two after sunset. Given the marginal nature of the threat, a watch is not anticipated. ..Hart/Smith.. 08/28/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...GLD...PUB...BOU...
