   Areas affected...far eastern NV into central and northern UT

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 292304Z - 300100Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...Large hail and severe gusts may accompany the stronger
   cells through 7-8pm MDT.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar mosaic shows a few cells, the most notable
   of which are moving east over White Pine Co. NV and Juab Co. UT. 
   Ample deep-layer shear (50 kt) and moderate buoyancy (1000-1500 J/kg
   SBCAPE) are favoring storm organization into stronger updraft/cell
   development.  Despite some cloud cover and minor influence from
   earlier day convection, the optimal time-of-day via peak heating and
   steepening of low-level lapse rates downstream of the ongoing storm
   activity, likely promotes a maintenance of the severe threat with
   the stronger storms for the next few hours.
