[html]MD 1769 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WY
Mesoscale Discussion 1769
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0249 PM CDT Thu Sep 08 2022
Areas affected...portions of northern and central WY
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 081949Z - 082145Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated strong gusts may acco*pany thunderstorms through
late afternoon or early evening.
DISCUSSION...Isolated high-based showers and thunderstorms have
recently increased in intensity across portions of northern WY.
Temperatures have climbed into the 80s in lower elevations, with
surface dewpoints generally in the upper 30s to low 40s. The lack of
higher-quality boundary layer moisture is limiting instability,
however steep midlevel lapse rates are aid in 250-500 J/kg MLCAPE.
north to northwesterly winds through 3 km AGL are rather light as
well, however, increasing mid and upper level flow is resulting in
effective shear magnitudes greater than 30 kt. This may result in
briefly organized updrafts. While the dry dry boundary-layer and
weak instability will limit storm intensity, steep low-level lapse
rates will support gusty outflow winds with this activity. A locally
strong/severe storm or two will be possible the next few hours
across parts of northern into central WY.
