    Areas affected...much of Nevada into southern Idaho and extreme
    southeast Oregon

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 031937Z - 032100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated severe gusts are possible through the afternoon.
    Given the sparse nature of the severe threat, a WW issuance is not
    expected.

    DISCUSSION...High-based convection has been slowly deepening through
    the day, with adequate surface heating resulting in a dry boundary
    layer mixing up to 600 mb (per 18Z RAP forecast soundings), and 0-3
    km lapse rates steepening to 9-10 C/km (19Z mesoanalysis). As a
    highly amplified mid-level trough further impinges on the Great
    Basin, increasing deep-layer ascent and speed shear will support
    greater coverage/intensity of high-based multicellular clusters.
    Enough evaporative cooling may transpire to support isolated severe
    gusts via dry microbursts within the stronger storm cores.
    Nonetheless, given the isolated nature of the potentially severe
    gusts, a WW issuance is not anticipated.
