    Mesoscale Discussion 2043
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0356 PM CDT Mon Sep 02 2024

    Areas affected...portions of eastern Oregon into northeast Nevada
    and western into central Idaho

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 022056Z - 022230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple of strong to severe gusts may accompany the
    deeper storm cores that manage to develop. Any severe threat that
    materializes should be sparse, and a WW issuance is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...A pronounced 500 mb vort max is currently traversing
    the CA/OR border, aiding in the ascent of marginally buoyant
    boundary-layer based parcels. MRMS mosaic radar imagery shows
    convective initiation underway from the lee of the Cascades toward
    eastern ID. These storms are developing atop a very dry boundary
    layer (evident via 50-60 F surface temperature/dewpoint spreads),
    with RAP forecast soundings showing inverted-v soundings extending
    up to 500 mb. As such, these storms will be high-based in nature.
    Strong mid-level flow is overspreading portions of the Interior West
    ahead of the approaching trough, contributing to 30+ kts of
    effective bulk shear. As such, a few storms may become marginally
    organized, capable producing strong to potentially severe gusts.
    However, severe potential is highly dependent on how vertically deep
    storm cores can become. The severe gust threat is expected to be
    sparse, and a WW issuance is not anticipated.
