.PREV DISCUSSION… /ISSUED 1124 AM CDT Sat Sep 07 2019/

…Central Plains…
A well-defined shortwave trough is moving quickly eastward today
across eastern MT/WY. This feature will help to initiate scattered
thunderstorm development this afternoon and evening from parts of
eastern CO and western KS into portions of SD/NE/MO/IA. Low-level
winds are forecast to be relatively weak across the central Plains,
limiting overall convective organization. However, multiple remnant
surface boundaries should be sufficient for a few clusters of
multicell and occasional supercell storms through the evening.
Forecast soundings suggest a risk of isolated strong/severe storms
capable of gusty/damaging winds and hail. Given the weak low-level
winds and expectation of rather disorganized convective, will
maintain the ongoing MRGL risk with only minor changes.

…Pacific Northwest…
A rather deep upper trough is approaching the OR/CA coast today.
Strengthening wind fields and cooling aloft will aid initiation of
scattered thunderstorms over central OR/WA along and east of the
Cascades. Organized severe storms are not expected. However, the
strongest cells could result in gusty winds and hail for a few hours
this afternoon and evening.
