Areas affected...northwest Arizona to north-central Utah

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 171752Z - 171945Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Severe wind gusts are possible with high-based storms this
afternoon and evening from northwest Arizona to north-central Utah.

DISCUSSION...Numerous elevated thunderstorms developed earlier this
morning on the leading edge of a northward surge of monsoon
moisture. In the wake of this convection, clear skies have allowed
for sufficient surface heating which, when combined with the
increasing low-level moisture, has resulted in moderate
destabilization. SPC mesoanalysis suggests inhibition has mostly
eroded. Therefore, surface-based storms, with likely a greater
severe wind threat, are possible within the next 1 to 2 hours as
further warming/moistening occurs. An environment this afternoon
featuring high-based storms and a deeply-mixed boundary layer with
1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE and 25-30 knots of effective shear should
support some threat for severe wind gusts. With multiple rounds of
storms possible, a severe thunderstorm watch may be needed to
address this threat.
