Valid 300209Z - 300415Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 604 continues. SUMMARY...Gusty winds may accompany storms as they propagate southeast this evening. DISCUSSION...Several thunderstorm clusters persist this evening across the High Plains from northwest KS into east central NM. This activity appears to be aided by a short-wave trough that is flattening the ridge over CO. 00z soundings from both AMA and DDC exhibited around 7-7.5 C/km lapse rates, and more than adequate shear for maintaining these clusters as they propagate southeast. While large-scale support will continue to encourage some longevity, buoyancy is not particularly strong, especially given the weak low-level inflow. Gusty winds are the main concern with these storms as they move southeast, but a new watch is not currently anticipated downstream. ..Darrow.. 08/30/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
