   Areas affected...western Utah

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 181833Z - 182000Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...High-based storms with isolated severe wind gusts expected
   this afternoon/evening.

   DISCUSSION...A northward moving surge of tropical moisture is moving
   into southern Utah early this afternoon. Moderate instability has
   developed across western Utah where temperatures have warmed into
   the 80s. Expect at least scattered storm coverage this afternoon,
   but weak shear (15-25 knots per RAP forecast soundings) will be a
   limiting factor to storm organization. Nonetheless, given the
   deeply-mixed boundary layer, a few severe wind gusts will be
   possible this afternoon and evening.
