.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1118 AM CDT Mon Sep 02 2024/

...Interior Pacific Northwest into the Northern Great
Basin/Rockies...
Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a closed low near the
northern CA/southern OR coast.  This upper feature will move east
through OR and be situated along the OR/ID border by daybreak
Tuesday.  A belt of stronger flow (30-50 kt 500-mb winds) will move
through the base of the larger-scale mid-level trough and overspread
northern NV into southwestern ID and eastern OR this afternoon into
the early evening.  Large-scale ascent associated with the upper
disturbance and the development of weak buoyancy (mainly via
heating), will facilitate the development of isolated to scattered
high-based thunderstorms beginning later this afternoon and
persisting into the evening.  Forecast soundings show large surface
temperature-dewpoint spreads (50 degrees F) with 9+ degrees C lapse
rates into the mid levels and a dry sub-cloud layer.  Evaporative
cooling of the more intense downdrafts will probably yield a risk
for isolated 60-70 mph gusts before weakening later this evening.
