Damaging gusts and isolated hail are possible with these storms, and a watch may eventually be needed. DISCUSSION...Recent surface analysis places a low over northeast WY (in the GCC vicinity), near the intersection of a pre-frontal trough that extends northeastward into western SD and the cold front moving southeastward into the western Dakotas and northeast WY. A well-defined shortwave trough is also moving through western WY, with strong mid-level flow and large-scale forcing for ascent associated with this system spreading eastward/northeastward into eastern WY, and the western Dakotas. Despite favorable daytime heating, destabilization downstream of this wave (and in the vicinity of the northeast WY surface low) has been tempered by limited low-level moisture.=20 Low-level moisture will remain limited, but cooling and moistening mid-levels associated with the approaching shortwave should result in modest buoyancy across the region. Strengthening mid-level flow is expected to result in moderate deep-layer vertical shear as well. These conditions should support a persistence of the ongoing cluster of showers and thunderstorms currently moving across east-central/northeast WY. Additional thunderstorm development is also likely farther west, closer to the shortwave, as well as farther south into southeast WY, as the airmass destabilizes and ascent increases. Deeply mixed boundary layer and high cloud bases suggest damaging gusts will be the primary risk, with some potential for upscale growth along storm outflows into one or more bowing segments. Some isolated hail is possible as well. ...Mosier/Guyer.. 09/04/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8a3UAC9nhzeGmF4qE0uSYxsY5BKqf8oLOk0MRzrnN820RjcmHsc6s0UG9gEELy_2V9_ggxOgn= YLfMpEJspXD2Z80QH8$ for graphic product...
