    Areas affected...portions of eastern Colorado and extreme western
    Kansas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 674...

    Valid 210452Z - 210615Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 674
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Strong-to-severe thunderstorms will continue this evening
    into the early morning hours. Large hail and strong damaging
    thunderstorm winds will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered strong-to-severe thunderstorms, including
    severe supercells, are ongoing this evening across eastern Colorado.
    These supercells are capable of producing large-to-very-large hail,
    with MRMS MESH episodically exceeding 2 inches across many of these
    storms. Additionally, the supercell across Crowley County, Colorado,
    is exhibiting signs of strong, perhaps damaging, convective outflow
    winds. Overall, these storms will continue to move southeast, with
    the storms having the strongest mesocyclones favoring a more
    southerly direction.

    The background environment remains conducive for severe
    thunderstorms. MUCAPE is in excess of 1000 J/kg with effective layer
    shear exceeding 40 knots is more than sufficient to sustain ongoing
    supercells and an attendant large-hail threat into the early morning
    hours. With time, however, increasing precipitation coverage should
    weaken the overall instability and lead to a decrease in the overall
    severe threat. Until that happens, large hail and damaging
    thunderstorm winds will continue as individual storms move southeast
    across the area.
