MD 1034 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 288... FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN COLORADO INTO FAR NORTHWESTERN KANSAS AND SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA Mesoscale Discussion 1034 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0614 PM CDT Mon Jun 08 2026 Areas affected...portions of eastern Colorado into far northwestern Kansas and southwestern Nebraska Concerning...Tornado Watch 288... Valid 082314Z - 090045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 288 continues. SUMMARY...Severe threat continues within WW288. A corridor of better tornado potential may evolve over the next couple of hours in northeastern Colorado. DISCUSSION...Supercells continue to move east of the Denver metro this evening. These have produced many instances of large hail around 1-1.5 inches in diameter. Recent radar analysis shows an increase in low level rotation as these storms track eastward. These supercells are entering a zone of better low level moisture with dew points in the mid 50s to 60s F. Within this zone, backed easterly upslope flow will promote better low level curvature and streamwise vorticity, locally enhancing the tornado potential while discrete supercells remain. Eventually, clustering and upscale growth will favor a transition to a greater damaging wind threat. ..Thornton.. 06/08/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
