Areas affected...Parts of central OR

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

Valid 202349Z - 210145Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Storms capable of isolated hail and localized severe gusts
will be possible into early evening.

DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have increased in coverage late this
afternoon across parts of central OR, within a warm and modestly
unstable (MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg) environment. Deep-layer
flow/shear is rather weak across the region, though a modest
increase in effective shear is possible over the next 2-3 hours as
midlevel flow gradually increases in advance of an approaching
mid/upper-level shortwave trough off of the Pacific Northwest coast.

Relatively steep midlevel lapse rates may support an isolated severe
hail threat, especially closer to the Cascades, where storm mode is
expected to be more discrete and effective shear may be slightly
stronger. Otherwise, localized strong/severe gusts will be possible
with any of the stronger cells/clusters into this evening. The
coverage and magnitude of the threat is expected to remain too
limited for watch issuance.
