...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE GREAT
BASIN/INTERMOUNTAIN WEST...
..SUMMARY
THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF ISOLATED SEVERE WIND GUSTS AND SMALL HAIL
WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT ACROSS PARTS
OF THE GREAT BASIN AND INTERMOUNTAIN WEST.
..GREAT BASIN AND INTERMOUNTAIN WEST
A PROMINENT WESTERN STATES UPPER TROUGH, CENTERED OVER THE SIERRA AT
MIDDAY, WILL CONTINUE TO PROGRESS EASTWARD TOWARD/OVER THE GREAT
BASIN, WHILE TAKING ON AN INCREASINGLY NEUTRAL TILT. CONSEQUENTIAL
HEIGHT FALLS, COOLING ALOFT, AND A STRENGTHENING OF DEEP-LAYER WINDS
WILL OCCUR IN ASSOCIATION. THIS WILL SUPPORT INCREASING AND AT LEAST
WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT INTO THE AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT AS LOW/MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN AND MODEST
DESTABILIZATION OCCURS. EVEN WITH LIMITED BUOYANCY, HIGH-BASED
STORMS COMBINED WITH MODERATE LOW/MID-LEVEL FLOW COULD STILL RESULT
IN A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORM-ENHANCED SURFACE WIND GUSTS, WITH THE
RELATIVELY GREATEST CHANCE FOR A FEW GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY
EVENING ACROSS NORTHERN/EAST-CENTRAL UTAH. PERSISTENT FORCING FOR
ASCENT WILL RESULT IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGHOUT THE
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AMID STRENGTHENING MID-LEVEL FLOW AND COOLING
MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES. BUOYANCY WILL REMAIN MODEST, BUT A FEW
INSTANCES OF MOSTLY SUB-SEVERE HAIL MAY ALSO OCCUR.
