DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have increased in coverage late this afternoon across parts of central OR, within a warm and modestly unstable (MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg) environment. Deep-layer flow/shear is rather weak across the region, though a modest increase in effective shear is possible over the next 2-3 hours as midlevel flow gradually increases in advance of an approaching mid/upper-level shortwave trough off of the Pacific Northwest coast. Relatively steep midlevel lapse rates may support an isolated severe hail threat, especially closer to the Cascades, where storm mode is expected to be more discrete and effective shear may be slightly stronger. Otherwise, localized strong/severe gusts will be possible with any of the stronger cells/clusters into this evening. The coverage and magnitude of the threat is expected to remain too limited for watch issuance. ...Dean/Guyer.. 05/20/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9rK2OpvgK9FA7M0AhxC4U7jnpVd1ltwi0Qd1oBfsorDWVDW1cr4W4Ar6UaB-D38Vkke5PQ77b= nLakjZLVJkbCmkQFQs$ for graphic product...
