AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHEASTERN NEVADA...NORTHERN UTAH...SOUTHEASTERN
IDAHO...AND SOUTHWESTERN WYOMING
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 152050Z - 152315Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT
SUMMARY...STORMS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON, POSING A THREAT OF DRY MICROBURST WINDS. CONVECTIVE
TRENDS WILL BE MONITORED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A WATCH.
DISCUSSION...A GLANCING INFLUENCE FROM THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO THE
NORTH IS RESULTING IN SOME LARGE-SCALE ASCENT AND AN INCREASE IN
MIDLEVLEL WINDS THIS AFTERNOON. INITIAL STORMS ARE INCREASING IN
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY ACROSS NORTHEASTERN NEVADA, AND THIS ACTIVITY
IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD EAST-NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO
SOUTHWESTERN WYOMING. THE 17Z DPG SOUNDING CHARACTERIZES THE VERY
STEEP LAPSE RATES (NEAR DRY ADIABATIC UP TO AROUND 500 MB) IN WHICH
THESE STORMS ARE FORMING. THIS ENVIRONMENT WILL SUPPORT VERY STRONG
DOWNDRAFTS AND DRY-MICROBURST POTENTIAL. RECENT VWPS FROM SALT LAKE
CITY INDICATE AROUND 30 KNOTS OF MID-TO-UPPER-LEVEL FLOW, WHICH MAY
SUPPORT SOME STORM ORGANIZATION AND PROPAGATION. IF STORMS ARE ABLE
TO ORGANIZE INTO CLUSTERS, A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MAY BE
CONSIDERED.
