A Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance may be needed. DISCUSSION...Deepening CU over eastern ID/southern MT are indicating attempts at thunderstorm initiation atop a destabilizing boundary layer with eroding convective inhibition. 19Z mesoanalysis shows boundary-layer lapse rates already reaching 9 C/km in some spots, with 500+ J/kg MLCAPE. RAP forecast soundings indicate a dry boundary layer extending to 500 mb, which is being overspread by stronger mid-upper level flow and 30 kts of effective bulk shear (i.e. straight hodographs indicating speed shear). Organized, high-based multicells should traverse portions of the the northern Rockies, accompanied by mainly a severe gust threat. If confidence increases in greater coverage of severe gusts, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed. ...Squitieri/Mosier.. 07/09/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4cFXVQU-ku-sUVHB83ZBPOPd1Wmgrnkl3bJ-cz8e4ujn6xNnmbmDNHO_rbyDW-xvkBoQOqqqf= x6v5hQzEbFS0g_TiOY$ for graphic product...
