Areas affected...Eastern Utah into far western Colorado.

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 231957Z - 232130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated severe wind gusts are possible this
afternoon/evening across eastern Utah and far western Colorado.

DISCUSSION...A few stronger cells have developed off the higher
terrain in central Utah and eastern Utah/western Colorado. Dewpoints
in the 50s with temperatures in the 80s have yielded MLCAPE around
500 J/kg per SPC mesoanalysis. Effective shear is relatively weak
(~25 knots per ICX VWP), but storms have shown at least some
organization with a sustained supercell moving across Wayne county.
The environment is similar across much of eastern Utah into western
Colorado so additional more organized updrafts are possible. The
primary hazard will likely be damaging winds given the deeply mixed
sub-cloud layer, but the limited instability/shear should keep the
overall severe wind threat isolated.
