Valid 081700Z - 091200Z
The notable changes on this update are to expand the Isolated Dry
Thunder area into Nevada and to add an Isolated Dry Thunder area in
portions of northeast Washington. Both of these changes reflect
greater confidence in lightning occurrence in an environment with
dry fuels and precipitable water values between 0.5-0.75 inches.
Otherwise, see the previous discussion for more details.

...Synopsis...
As a trough moving across the northern Rockies into the northern
Plains suppresses the western US ridge today, flow aloft will
shift to beco*e more northwesterly with monsoonal moisture shifting
southward. Isolated dry thunderstorm chances will be possible along
the fringes of the deeper monsoonal moisture across southern/central
Utah into western Colorado and western Wyoming. In these regions,
precipitable water values around 0.50-0.75 inch and mainly mid-level
moisture will result in high-based convection, with potential for
new ignitions amid receptive fuels, and little precipitation. Gusty
and erratic winds will be possible near thunderstorms.
