Mesoscale Discussion 1944
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0133 PM CDT Sun Aug 18 2024
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.
